John Inverdale's attempt to say 'rose-tinted glasses' turned about as vulgar as it possibly could

We don’t know how on earth Inverdale managed to substitute in THIS word.

LIVE BROADCASTING CAN be very difficult because you don’t have the comfort of being able to redo anything. If you say something stupid live on-air, there are no take-backs.

Even the most accomplished media personalities can slip up, as BBC sport anchor John Inverdale found out today. Inverdale was a part of BBC 5 Live’s Cheltenham coverage and made a very, very profane error.

We aren’t quite sure how he went from rose-tinted glasses to this…

Inverdale has since apologised and he will probably be secretly relieved that one of his BBC colleagues has gotten into even more trouble this afternoon.

Still, ‘rose-c***ed’ glasses is only the second most objectionable broadcasting incident involving Inverdale in the last few weeks.

That scarf probably drew more complaints than what happened earlier.

He’s almost Irish-eligible but if there’s a language test big CJ Stander might have a bit of trouble
