A BBC News presenter found herself in a hairy situation when the cameras went live four minutes early – and caught her brushing her hair.

Carole Walker was preparing herself of the 9am bulletin and had her handbag on her desk, but was unaware that the cameras had already begun rolling.

Although she appeared a little startled as the intro music began, she quickly recovered and began reading the morning’s headlines, after hiding the offending brush and choosing to just ignore the handbag.

Well done to Carole for brushing it off so quickly.
