A lost football fan almost made an embarrassing cameo on this BBC Breakfast during to their coverage of the build up for tonight's big football match.
In a live link from Istanbul, sports reporter John Watson spoke to camera about the excitement building up in the Turkish city ahead of this evening’s Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan.
Dressed for the blazing 25 degree sunshine in a white T-shirt and matching shirt, John explained that there were more British fans flying in ahead of tonight’s kick-off, many of them paying huge sums of money in the hope of seeing their beloved team make history with another trophy win this season.
He said: “So many fans are arriving with emotional stories, arriving with family, friends, loved ones…”
But he wasn’t prepared for one fan who was looking for directions.
To the right of the screen appeared a white-haired man who began to ask a question as he tapped his watch - before realising his mistake and quickly stepping away, waving a discrete apology.
The unexpected encounter didn’t phase John, and he continued his link - although there were plenty of other people walking right up next to him and taking photos of a giant Champions League trophy behind him.
People at home definitely noticed the unnamed man’s cameo.
One tweeted: “That was great. Live broadcasts always look tricky but you made it look easy”, and another said “That was cringe.”
Tonight's Champions League final sees Manchester City take on Inter Milan in the hope of winning the competition for the first time in the club's history.
The game will take place at Ataturk Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm.
