Children In Need 2018: Fans left ‘howling’ over audience member’s live blunder
CHILDREN IN NEED 2018 continued this evening and praised all of the carers and those who have donated this evening, but in the celebration one of the audience members got their cue wrong.
Children in Need 2018: BBC tease fundraising TV special
Children In Need 2018 was working like a well-oiled machine this year - until Tess Daly’s announcement.
As the show continued to celebrate the carers who helped the organisation raise money for the children.
Tess even took some time out to personally thank one carer in the audience.
But after that, she decided to thank everyone in the audience who had gone to great lengths to raise money for the evening.
Tess began: “It may be there are other people who help - people who don’t wear capes.
“They might shop in your supermarket, and they might get on your bus to work.
“They might even be sat right here in our studio audience! They could even be behind you!”
As Tess announced: “Please stand up,” the group of carers sat behind her stood up to applaud.
But one of the audience members mistook this demand to mean her, leaving her to stand up beside them.
Realising she had stood up at the wrong moment, she quickly sat back down.
Tess continued on, however, as she told the rest of the audience to stand up in stages.
Once she introduced the heroes on her left, and around her, she went on to say: “I think these people deserve a standing ovation.
“Please stand up, they’re real life superheroes!”
At this point all audience members stood to applaud the charity workers.
Fans of the show noticed this small blunder, and began writing about it on Twitter.
One wrote: “Did anyone see that woman stand up!? #childreninneed2018.”
Another said: “Howling at that lady standing up by mistake #childreninneed2018.”
“God bless the woman who stood up when Tess Daly said stand up but she was talking about the carers behind her #childreninneed2018,” a third continued.
Luckily, Tess didn’t see any more blunders during her time on the show.
Children in Need airs tonight on BBC One, and EastEnders continues Monday at 8pm on BBC One.
