Hilarious moment BBC newsreader collapses in giggles after asking viewers to send in pictures 'if you've done your business'

This is the hilarious moment a BBC newsreader broke down in giggles after asking viewers to send in pictures 'if you've done your business'.

Clearly realising what he was saying just to late as the words escaped his mouth, Steve Saul sniggered as he struggled to close the latest installment of North West Today.

He promptly took to X, formerly Twitter, to correct himself, writing: 'Please DON’T send us pictures of your business!! Doh!'

But it did not stop some viewers having a laugh at the presenter's expense.

One commenter wrote: 'I mean it’s one way to hand back downstairs I suppose…' 

The clip shared by Steve on social media showed the newsreader, shows him rounding off yesterday afternoon's bulletin by asking viewers to send in pictures of their homes or businesses specially decorated for tomorrow's European Championship final - which sees England play Spain in Berlin.

However, that message was not put across as smoothly as hoped, with Steve asking viewers to 'email your pictures if you've dressed up your house, or done your business.'

It came immediately after he had already asked for North West locals to send in pictures of themselves watching the game. 

Someone who saw the gaffe live commented: 'For a moment I thought you were going to have to say it a third time!'

The presenter later revealed the reason for the mishap, explaining that he had been given a 'messed up' count in his ear indicating when to end the programme.

To get over the line, Steve attempted to simply repeat the call for emails a second time, but mixed up his words under the pressure.

Sunday night's match is expected to be an enormous national party, bringing in a boost of £120million of profit to bars and pubs across the land, so it is no surprise that many of them will be getting decked out in bunting and flags for the big match.

England face Spain for a chance to become the first England men's team to win a major tournament since the 1966 World Cup and the first on foreign soil.
