BBC Scotland’s Kawser Quamer was presenting the weather when a chyron appeared on the bottom of the screen assigning her a dubious new name and job title. Specifically the news ticker accidentally labeled her as “Aaron Ramsay, Ex-offender”. It took Quamer a moment to notice the new name and job title she had been bequeathed, but when she did, she started to giggle—and couldn’t stop for the remainder of her [broadcast](http://time.com/3558510/local-news-reporter-dancing-t-i/?iid=sr-link2). In fact, it’s nearly impossible to watch the clip and not start giggling, too. > [](https://twitter.com/961a/status/923173589620285441) > [](https://twitter.com/BBCSimonMcCoy/status/923180823355916289) Quamer has a wonderful attitude about her on-air giggle fit. She later took to Twitter to tease herself for the blooper. > [](https://twitter.com/KawserQuamer/status/923176557346263041) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4996778/weather-blooper-bbc/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4996778/weather-blooper-bbc/"},"headline":"Viral Weather Reporter Could Not Stop Giggling After an On-Air Blooper","datePublished":"2017-10-26T16:18:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:48:16.119Z","description":"It's almost impossible to not giggle along with her","url":"https://time.com/4996778/weather-blooper-bbc/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","BBC"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf9fbacb5e3af780b/6988e37fe76ad229f962fb85/twitter_simon-mccoy.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf9fbacb5e3af780b/6988e37fe76ad229f962fb85/twitter_simon-mccoy.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Twitter_Simon McCoy","caption":"","creditText":"Simon McCoy/Twitter","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4996778/weather-blooper-bbc/","name":"Viral Weather Reporter Could Not Stop Giggling After an On-Air Blooper"}}]}] ```
