GB News presenter swears live on air in painfully awkward viral blunder

GB News collapsed into chaos as their bungling newsreader attempted to reveal an important update on escaped terror suspect Daniel Khalife. The prisoner was on the run and journalist Martin Daubney was following the story live on air.

The reporter suffered an unfortunate incident while presenting one particularly cringeworthy segment of his bulletin. After receiving news from police that Daniel had been arrested, Daubney appeared to get extremely flustered.

Seemingly forgetting the name of the missing inmate, Martin called him "the terror man" live on air, before swearing in front of viewers. A trainwreck from start to finish, Daubney's breaking news update hasn't gone down well with fans.

"First, it's the news headlines... no it's not," Martin opened the live TV segment. "We're going straight to me, this is breaking news, this is fast and happening. Because as we just said... erm... we... apprehended... the terror man."

After failing to get his words out, he muttered: "F**k, it's all gone wrong." Martin quickly composed himself before bringing on his live guest. But the moment didn't go unnoticed by GB News viewers, with one calling the ordeal "a parody of amateur".

"Martin Daubney here on GB News GBNews making an absolute horlicks of this important breaking news," they wrote on X, formally known as Twitter. "It's like a parody of amateur it's that bad! I know live tv isn't an easy gig but it takes some doing to be this bad!"

Another slammed: "And this, according to the TRIC (Television and Radio Industries Club) Awards, is the NEWS CHANNEL OF THE YEAR? How many anonymous lumpy brown envelopes exchanged hands to allow this to happen?"

A third joked: "In a nutshell, police have escaped but terror man Chip Chapman has been apprehended." While a fourth penned: "I think he was told it's straight to you when he said "it's straight to me" . I have watched this too many times."

This isn't the first error broadcasted live on GB News, since the channel's launch people have posted epic fails that made it on the small screen. A dedicated account was even created on X, formally Twitter, sharing GB News bloopers.
