BBC Norman Smith calling Nigel Farage a c***
Clearly not afraid to mince his words BBC reporter Norman Smith may have just entered the next round of the Farage v BBC battle by accidentally letting the swearword slip.
He was explaining how the party's economic spokesman Patrick O'Flynn had accused Ukip of fast becoming a "personality cult" when he accidentally dropped the C-bomb.
Nigel Farage and the BBC have not been seeing eye to eye recently with the Ukip leader branding the Beeb 'biased' during a leaders' debate.
He later claimed the broadcaster had too much influence and funding.
A spokesperson for the BBC said: “The nature of live broadcasting means that on-air stumbles occasionally happen and Norman immediately clarified he had meant to say cult”.
