Television viewers were outraged after the BBC accidentally broadcast a man making an insensitive comment about the death of Keith Chegwin.
Another tweeted: “Extremely ashamed at BBCNews BBCOne A tragic report that Keith Chegwin has sadly passed away from ongoing lung issues, only to hear a big gaffe as someone can be heard saying…”
The BBC News Channel was set to talk to Chegwin’s former colleague John Craven, but then cut to the weather instead.
The TV presenter died on Monday at the age of 60 after battling a progressive lung condition.
