BBC News presenter Maryam Moshiri has gone viral once more after a playful Groundhog Day report. During Monday's broadcast, she referenced the 1993 film by repeating the bulletin about Punxsutawney Phil's prediction, then paused to pretend she was stuck in a time loop before moving on with a smirk.
The clip was widely shared on social media, prompting Moshiri to respond: 'People who watch my show know I do fun a lot and it doesn’t always get picked up by anybody other than the lovely viewers.' She added laughing emojis.
Viewers praised her humour, with one writing: 'Maryam, you are the joy of the BBC.' Another suggested she should get a prime-time slot on BBC One.
This follows a previous incident in which Moshiri apologised after making an obscene gesture on air, which she explained was a private joke with her team.
