Whoops! BBC presenter Ugo Monye found himself in a bit of a pickle during a live recording of the Six Nations Rugby Special. Imagine this: right in the middle of hosting the show, his phone alarm blares out loud! Talk about a red-faced moment.
Monye, the former England and British & Irish Lions wing, was all set to chat with pundits Sam Warburton and John Barclay when the mishap struck. As the alarm disrupted the broadcast, Sam Warburton couldn’t resist a bit of playful teasing, exclaiming, “That’s a fine, that’s a massive fine!” Much laughter ensued, with John Barclay also joining in on the fun, remarking, “Oh my God,” and cheekily suggesting he and Warburton could take over. “If you’ve got somewhere to be, I’m sure me and Sam can do this better,” he teased.
After a good chuckle, and a bit of good-natured ribbing from his guests, Monye quickly apologised, saying, “Okay, cool. Sorry, my bad,” before getting back on track with the show. The camaraderie between these rugby legends certainly brought a light-hearted twist to the mishap.
