Birthday blunder! Hilarious moment BBC presenter ruins her niece's surprise party by revealing it live on TV

This is the hilarious moment a BBC presenter accidentally ruined her niece's surprise birthday party by revealing it on live TV.

BBC Weather's Kawser Quamer was left embarrassed after she started talking about the party before realizing she had inadvertently given away the secret.

A clip of the accident was shared widely on social media as people saw the funny side of the family mistake.

Quamer had just finished the weather forecast for North West Tonight when presenter Annabel Tiffin called her onto the couch for an informal chat at the end of the broadcast.

Tiffin asked, “So, what do you have to do this weekend?” Something exciting?'

“My niece's surprise birthday party,” Quamer replied, not realizing she had just revealed the surprise until her co-host spelled it out.

'Oh, that's nice. But no surprise when she looks at this,” Tiffin said.

Seeing the funny side of the blunder, Quamer burst out laughing and said, “Oh God, I ruined the surprise.”

She tried to give the viewers the silent sign in a desperate attempt to keep the secret alive, but soon burst out laughing.

She saw the funny side and said, “Oh God, I ruined the surprise.”

It is unknown whether her niece tuned in at the time, but the mistake has generated dozens of comments on social media.

Other BBC staff shared their reactions, with BBC North West presenter Steve Saul saying 'Oh dear' on X, while creative director of BBC News Chris Cook wrote: 'This is AMAZING – have a great weekend everyone xxxx.'

BBC South West journalist Alastair Monk said: 'This is just brilliant. In a time of so much stress, just enjoy it.'

Viewers also commented on X, with one person commenting: 'I've watched this multiple times now. It gets funnier every time.”

Another said: 'This is why I watch the regional news.'

“I love human moments like this,” said one social media user.

But the blunder is not the first on-air mishap by a BBC presenter recently.

BBC News anchor Maryam Moshiri was also caught in an on-air mishap in December when she gave the middle finger before snatching her hand away, causing her to adopt a more appropriate position as she began reading out the headlines.

In December, BBC News presenter Maryam Moshiri went viral after she was caught flashing her middle finger directly at the camera, without realizing it was already live.

The presenter then tried to quickly switch to professional mode and began reading out the headlines, announcing: 'Live from London, this is BBC news.'

But the viral moment was instantaneous and the clip began spreading across the internet, prompting Maryam to apologize and explain that she had had a 'private joke' with her team before the program started.

The BBC later released the full clip of the moment, which showed her counting from 10 fingers to one during the so-called countdown.
