Sky News anchor Adam Boulton has apologised after he was heard saying "fuck it" during coverage of Joe Biden's inauguration today.
The veteran presenter has led the channel's coverage of the event direct from Washington DC but appeared to be unaware that his microphone was live when he was surprised by a sudden gust of wind.
Boulton's blip has been widely shared on social media, although he also came in for criticism for his scathing assessment of Donald Trump during his broadcast.
As Trump departed for Florida on Air Force One to the tune of Frank Sinatra's 'My Way', Boulton described the scene as "pretty cringemaking", also calling him "a pompous petty little man".
