00:00Team Croxall for overruling an autocue. We would never do such a thing.
00:05We are overruling an autocue line that used the term pregnant people instead of women. Take a look.
00:13London's School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine has released research which says that nearly 600 heat-related deaths are expected in the UK.
00:22Malcolm Mistry, who was involved in the research, says that the aged pregnant people, women, and those with pre-existing health conditions...
00:32She was well irritated by that.
00:36I think I've had that before where I've disapproved of how something was written in an autocue and thought, I'm going to correct that with a little bit of sass.
00:43A little bit, yeah. Because it's not just what she said, it's the way that she said it. It's the sort of slight smirk and eyebrow raise.
00:51It was a rebellion.
00:52Yeah.
00:52It was a little rebellion.
00:54Just a little one. And I hope she's not sanctioned for this.
00:56Because I know sometimes the BBC can be a bit fusty. But I hope that everyone can see exactly what she was doing.
01:05And I think that she would probably be speaking for a lot of people as she did it.
01:08I imagine so. And now she's shot to more fame, hasn't she, overnight? I think all of this went very viral indeed.
01:14She's welcomed her new followers on Twitter off the back of this. It's all very amusing.
01:19But she has spoken out in the past, hasn't she, on various things by mistake, hasn't she?
01:23There was one incident. There was one incident over Boris Johnson.
01:28Right.
01:29Happy that he resigned, basically. Anyway, we'll bring you more detail on that if you want it.
