NORWICH, England, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- British newscaster Emma Baker unknowingly fixed her bra and joked around with her co-workers during a live feed from the Anglia TV local news.

The 26-year-old TV personality was unaware the station's national affiliate had handed over the broadcast and spent several moments talking with her co-hosts and fidgeting with her clothing, The Daily Mail said.

While many who viewed the impromptu live affair enjoyed Baker's questions to those around her, it was when she adjusted her microphone by reaching up her blouse that things got interesting.

"It was much more interesting than the usual local news. It was like a soap opera unfolding," said Sally Fox, an area viewer. "When she put her hand up her shirt it seemed that she was fiddling with her bra. I saw her tummy. "

Yet Fox gives credit to Baker, who apparently was pale and shocked when she was notified of the situation, for completing the broadcast.

"She started reading the news but how she got through it all I will never know," she told the paper. "Top marks to her for that."
