Veteran broadcaster James Naughtie has this morning apologised for an on-air gaffe in which he mispronounced Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt’s surname as an offensive word.
The 59-year-old presenter of BBC Radio 4’s flagship 'Today' programme made the slip-up just before this morning’s 8am news segment and struggled to contain his composure throughout the headlines where he could be heard giggling and coughing throughout.
