A BBC reporter just accidentally called Nigel Farage a c**t live on air

Freudian slip, eh?

THE BBC’S ASSISTANT political editor Norman Smith made a bit of a slip up on the news this afternoon.

Speaking about Ukip leader Nigel Farage, he appeared to slip up and call him a personality c**nt instead of ‘cult’.

Yeouch.
