As the coronavirous pandemic continues its grip on Britain, live news programmes are continuing to conduct interviews via videolink.

TV reporters have adapted to the crisis by filming their segments in the comfort of their own home.

This can sometimes lead to rather embarrassing live TV moments (think Edwina Currie’s surprise video bomb on Good Morning Britain).

And it appears that across the pond in the US, it’s much the same as it is here - with broadcasters having to improvise with their reports in their 'home studio'.

Spare a thought for California-based news reporter Melinda Meza, who has managed to make Edwina’s bathrobe incident pale in comparison.

Meza, a correspondent for KCRA 3 in Sacramento, was doing a piece about hair styling tips during lockdown when someone else could be seen in the background.

And that someone was completely starkers.

Poor Melinda is likely feeling a little red-faced after the recording accident - but viewers are delighted by it.

As she spoke from her bathroom, the outline of a figure - believed to be her husband Mike de Lambert - can be made out over her shoulder.

The clip has since been shared widely across social media.

One tweeted: “Damn why she wanna work when she’s got all that at home?”

A second wrote: “Now that’s a blooper.”

While others were baffled over Melinda’s choice of filming location.

One posted: “Why did she use the bathroom instead of another room?”

A second agreed: “Who takes an interview in their private bathroom, anyway?”

To which someone replied: “Someone who's proud of their husband apparently.”

Melinda is yet to break her twitter silence about the incident, which happened last week.
