BBC Breakfast in chaos as 'we see you' moment leaves viewers in hysterics

BBC Breakfast fans got more than they bargained for on Friday (January 24) when a camera gaffe gave two crew members an unexpected moment in the spotlight.

Mid-interview with Tana Adkin KC from the Criminal Bar Association, viewers were stunned to see the lens shift to reveal two BBC staff beside themselves with surprise.
