Lynsey Hipgrave admits she ‘should not have said’ comment that ‘came out wrong’ on live TNT Sports broadcast

TNT Sports presenter Lynsey Hipgrave was involved in a hilariously awkward moment live on TV.

Hipgrave presented TNT Sports' coverage of Newcastle United's sensational comeback against West Ham United on Saturday.

Newcastle took the lead in the opening minutes but then trailed West Ham 3-1 before mounting a remarkable comeback to earn all three points.

Alexander Isak, who scored the first goal of the game, pulled one back from the spot after converting his second penalty of the match.

Second-half substitute Harvey Barnes then drew level before smashing home an outrageous long-range strike to make it 4-3.

Newcastle fan Hipgrave signed off TNT Sports' broadcast with a priceless comment that she admitted she 'should not have said'.

She made reference to being on her back as she celebrates the victory with her father.

Upon realising what she had just said, Hipgrave hysterically added: "It came out wrong!"

Joe Cole weighed in: "I'm not saying nothing," while Owen Hargreaves couldn't contain himself and started laughing.

Fans online loved the moment that happened during TNT Sports live broadcast and praised Hipgrave for the way she handled the situation.

One X user wrote: "Joking aside @lynseyhipgrave1 is a brilliant anchor... Naturally good at what she does."

A second tweeted: "@lynseyhipgrave1 is the best presenter. She is very honest, let’s the pundits speak guides them with effervescence."

A third added: "This is absolutely hilarious."

A fourth joked: "That is not what I expected her to come out with at all."

Another commented: "Brilliant! I like how she's realised and just rolled with it."

Newcastle's come-from-behind victory not only delighted Hipgrave but also two-goal hero Barnes, who called the match 'one of the maddest games' he's played in.

"It was one of the maddest games I’ve played in," he said.

"It’s one of those days you are going to remember for a long time. We’re all about team spirit and we showed an abundance of it. We never give up."

Newcastle, meanwhile, improved their points tally to 43 points following their victory at St. James' Park.

Eddie Howe's team resume their league next Tuesday when they host Everton.
