BBC Presenter Nick Robinson Mispronounces Jeremy Hunt
BBC Radio 4 presenter Nick Robinson has apologized for mistakenly mispronouncing shadow chancellor Jeremy Hunt's name live on air during a discussion on welfare cuts. He inadvertently referred to Hunt using a rude term, saying, 'Rishi Sunak and Jeremy C*** had no idea where they’d get the money.' Following the backlash, Robinson acknowledged the gaffe about ten minutes later, attributing it to a recurring error previously made by other presenters like Jim Naughtie and Justin Webb. Hunt responded to the incident with humor, noting he is accustomed to such mispronunciations and has been called 'Jeremy C***' since school days. This is not an isolated incident, as several other BBC and ITV journalists have made similar errors in the past. Hunt has urged people to simply 'grow up' regarding the unfortunate similarity of his name to an expletive.
