The thought of getting caught on a hot mic and broadcast nationwide without your knowledge is a pretty terrifying one.
Especially if what you get caught saying is a pretty blatant — and accurate — statement about national politics, and you also happen to drop the f-bomb.
SEE ALSO:How Benedict Cumberbatch transformed himself into the mastermind behind BrexitThat's exactly what happened to one unlucky individual who got caught making some rather blunt remarks during a live BBC broadcast. During a televised press conference – where seven members of the UK political party Labour resigned in protest over the leadership of party Leader Jeremy Corbyn – a BBC microphone picked up a voice saying, among other things, "we're actually fucked."
As former Labour MP Luciana Berger made her statement, the commentator was caught on a hot mic saying "I’m not gonna lie, but with this and Brexit we’re actually fucked. It’s going to be really divided (...) the Conservatives are going to win."
Alan White, news editor at BuzzFeed UK, shared the clip of the commentator on Twitter with the caption: "I think all political news would be improved by someone muttering 'we’re fucked' over it."

The BBC later apologised for having unwittingly broadcast the remarks which were "background comments."
"Due to an error, we inadvertently broadcast some background comments from another microphone during our coverage of the press conference this morning. We apologised on air once we realised our mistake," the BBC said in a statement, per The Guardian.
Note to self: always make sure you're nowhere near a hot mic when you serve up hot takes.
