Simon McCoy has a reputation for being the BBC’s most gaffe-prone presenter. On Wednesday, he reminded viewers why. As Jane Hill presented the news, McCoy wandered onto the set and walked into the line of the camera:

Here’s a brief reminder of some of McCoy’s greatest hits:
- Simon McCoy ‘no news’ royal baby broadcast
Standing outside St Mary’s hospital in Paddington, McCoy showed no signs of experiencing royal baby-mania:
‘Well plenty more to come from here. Of course, none of it news, because that will come from Buckingham Palace. But that won’t stop us. We’ll see you later.’
2. Simon McCoy takes a nap… on air
We’ve all been there. You’re at work, you’re feeling a bit tired so you take a nap when no one’s looking… oh wait, there’s a camera on you:
3. Simon McCoy: I know what she looks like Sarah
McCoy once again showed his enthusiasm for royal stories. As Meghan Markle made an official visit, the BBC broadcaster couldn’t hide his annoyance when the correspondent tried to describe Markle’s coat:
– Can you see #MeghanMarkle?
– Nope.
– She’s in a dark coat…
– I know what she looks like Sarah. We can’t see her.
– There’s nothing I can do Simon. I can draw you a picture?Tense stuff as @BBCSimonMcCoy and @SarahCam3 try valiantly to cover #RoyalVisit live without a camera pic.twitter.com/aGt82zu4P3

4. Simon McCoy’s weather forecast
McCoy’s weather observations didn’t land quit as he had intended:
"I was lying in bed and I've not heard a wind like that for an awfully long time"…. It's the Simon and Louise double act again! Jo @BBCSimonMcCoy pic.twitter.com/kiVPlUUiLF

5. Simon McCoy triggers a V-sign
McCoy’s goading of a weather presenter backfired when they flipped a V sign in his direction… only to find the camera on them:
Well, that’s one reason for the licence fee…
