BBC News has issued an apology after accidentally running a photo of Viola Davis alongside a headline about Beyoncé.
During the broadcaster’s Sunday (5 February) night live coverage of the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, they showed an old Golden Globe image of Davis behind a chyron, which read: “Beyoncé’s big night.”
Immediately following the error, numerous viewers responded on Twitter, with one sharing a screenshot of the moment with the caption: “Who’s gonna tell @BBCNews?”
“I’m guessing it’s a mistake but with all their resources BBC have zero excuse for this,” a second responded.
Acknowledging their blunder, BBC News tweeted an apology on Monday (6 February).
“We apologise for the mistake last night when our news channels briefly showed a photograph of Viola Davis from January’s Golden Globes alongside a headline about Beyoncé at yesterday’s Grammys,” they wrote.
“This fell below the BBC’s usual standards.
