It’s been quite a dramatic year for UK residents and it’s fair to say many of the biggest moments have been captured on live TV.
Over the past 12 months alone, Queen Elizabeth II – the longest reigning monarch in British history – died at the age of 96, a total of three Prime Ministers stepped into office, and the England women’s team won the European Championships.
But it hasn’t been plain sailing for celebrities either, with viewers often shielding behind a cushion as they watched some of the most awkward moments unfold on TV.

The incident occurred moments after the stand-up comic made a joke that referenced Jada Pinkett Smith’s recent hair loss, which is a result of the medical condition alopecia.
One of the comments he made was directed towards the actress, to whom he said: “Jada, I love ya, GI Jane 2 – can’t wait to see it!”
He was then seen storming up on stage where he hit him across the face before returning to his seat and shouting: “Keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth!”

Host Alex attempted to brush the awkward interaction under the rug as she joked that she “didn’t know what she’d seen” but the comedian’s face was a picture as he placed one hand over his mouth after the red-faced moment aired.
Camila told everyone at her home studio: “I actually just undid my pants because I had a sandwich, you know I got to make it easy for myself” as she took to her feet.
But as she swooped her hair away from her chest, she accidentally brushed her shirt off her shoulder and flashed millions of viewers at home as well as the cast and crew in the studio.

Being the professional that she is, the Señorita singer simply carried on with her routine while amending her clothes, adding: “Whoops, I just flashed you. I hope you didn’t see a nipple!”
Alex interjected with: “Erm, well you know what there was a bit of a wardrobe malfunction, I don’t know what I saw but there was a flash of something.”
Alan was quick to point out: “Cyber flashing. You’ve just done an item on it, what are the chances.”
