🚣♀️ Drama on the River Thames! 🚣♀️
During the live coverage of the iconic Boat Race, things got a little heated, and not just because of the rowing! 🎤😬 Jamie Laing, of Made in Chelsea fame, was left scrambling after an unexpected live TV moment.
Oxford’s women’s crew finally broke their losing streak with a spectacular win after nine long years. But it was their cox, Louis Corrigan, who really grabbed attention during an interview. When describing the race strategies, Corrigan’s colourful language caught everyone off guard: “What a f*****g awesome day!”
In true professional style, Jamie quickly tried to smooth things over saying, “Excuse the language, we’re celebrating – it’s OK!” But calm and classy Clare Balding made sure to issue an apology before the break.
This race marked Channel 4’s debut in broadcasting the event, and what a way to start! 🎥 Joining Clare and Jamie was the inspiring Ade Adepitan. The stellar team brought all the excitement of London’s riverside party to life.
Jamie couldn’t contain his enthusiasm, calling it “London’s party by the river” and expressing his thrill at being part of such a historic occasion. He’s soaking up the vibe and already buzzing to meet the incredible athletes and supporters.
If this year’s Boat Race was anything to go by, Channel 4 is in for an exciting journey as they continue their coverage of this thrilling event. Here’s to more memorable moments on the Thames! 🚤🎉
