BBC Radio 5 Live host Rachel Burden was left entirely red-faced this morning as she slipped up live on air. She, along with her colleague Nicky Campbell, were discussing the National Probation Service and its decision to supervise all offenders in England and Wales this morning. But she went on to inadvertently let a phrase slip out in the midst of her conversation. Speaking to home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw on the show this morning, she explained: “Chris Grayling seems to have been in charge of various departmental gaffes, f**k ups, mismanagement, controversies, and yet he’s still there in cabinet.” Related articles Chris Evans: ‘He’s the guy that goes f*** it’ says ex colleague The Archers spoilers: Freddie Pargetter dealt heartbreaking blow Both presenters went on with the conversation, apparently unaware of what she had uttered during the chat. Just before 7am this morning Rachel was apparently informed of her mistake, and went on to apologise for her blunder. She announced: “By the way, I think a bad word may have slipped out, although that wasn’t the intention. “It wasn’t what I’d thought I said. So, I apologise if anybody heard bad language earlier on.” She added: ”That wasn’t what was supposed to happen.” Nicky went on to suggest it may have happened “kind of unconsciously.” BBC Radio 5 Live: Presenter Rachel Burden slipped up today (Image: BBC) BBC Radio 5 Live: Rachel and NIcky were discussing national probation (Image: BBC) Related articles BBC’s Radio 4 Today SAVAGED on Brexit by Labour MP: ‘Echo chamber I...

Anyway, apologies to anyone who was offended.” More to follow...
