BBC Sport reporter Betty Glover was forced to cut short her live World Cup coverage from Los Angeles after spotting a couple kissing behind her, with one follower remarking: 'This is the greatest thing I've ever seen'.
She admitted she 'couldn't hold it together' as the intimate scene unfolded in the background. The BBC journalist had been delivering coverage from the streets of Los Angeles during the World Cup this weekend.
The reporter was preparing to present her segment following Scotland's 1-0 victory over Haiti, but was forced to abandon filming after spotting a couple engaged in an intimate moment behind her. Betty confessed she 'couldn't hold it together' upon noticing the pair kissing behind her during the broadcast.
She posted footage on social media, revealing her surprise when she discovered what was happening directly in shot. While Betty tried to concentrate on the camera ahead rather than the scene behind, the framing was adjusted to remove the couple from view.
Betty posted on Instagram: 'Don't mind me guys... Just trying to do a piece to camera when a couple started necking it on behind me. @georgecoops behind the camera couldn't stop laughing and in the end I couldn't hold it together.'
Before bursting into giggles, Betty had stated in the footage: 'Hello and welcome to LA and your morning cup day after Scotland just enjoyed one of their best footballing moments in history winning their first world cup game.' She was subsequently obliged to cut the segment short after dissolving into laughter.
'Cant believe you actually started talking,' one follower responded to Betty's clip. Journalist Christian Hewgill also remarked: 'This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.' Another commented: 'please show this on air!' while a third stated: 'Fair play for trying to keep going! A true pro.'
This follows just hours after the BBC was compelled to issue an apology following an American supporter uttering a profanity on live television. During an interview, one supporter described Fifa officials as 'greedy f***s' while speaking from a bar in Washington. The reporter was obliged to issue a startled apology, acknowledging 'apologies for the language there', as the interview continued, describing Fifa officials as 'clowns'. 'That casts a bit of a shadow on this but as a soccer fan it's always awesome to have a World Cup at home,' he concluded.
