This is very funny.

BBC News have apologised for what we think is a funny blunder during a live broadcast this morning.

People spotted some odd things coming up at the bottom of the screen, what they call the 'ticker'.

During the broadcast, news updates roll across the bottom of the screen.

But what came up didn't exactly seem like proper journalism..

There, on the screen, were the words 'Manchester United are rubbish'.

While most people are hung up on this, we actually think the next "update" was a mistake too: "Weather rain everywhere".

Afterwards, the BBC News anchor made an apology and explained that someone was being trained to use it.

She says that they usually type random things in to practice and these random things managed to make it to onto the screen.

She added that it was a mistake and that they hope Man United fans aren't offended by it!
