Footage of a YouTuber from Kent has gone viral after her Skype call to the BBC cut over the middle of an interview about Brexit.
Lucia Keskin, from Margate, was due to appear on the BBC News channel to be interviewed herself on the next item when her call was cut off.
The vlogger interrupted another live Skype interview which was being aired at the time as her call notification popped up on the middle of the screen for around five seconds.
She called the network while Bojan Pancevski was talking live from Berlin commenting on how the EU was responding to the Brexit votes in Parliament last night.
Lucia, who goes by the username Chi With A C on the video sharing website, was due to be interviewed about Friends being named as the most popular TV show among young people.
She later tweeted about the incident seeing the funny side, commenting: "AS IF I SKYPED BBC NEWS WHEN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT BREXIT IM HOWLING."
The blunder has even been spotted by Radio 1 breakfast show host Greg James.
Greg, who is a regular visitor to Kent and often visits Port Lympne Reserve near Hythe, retweeted Lucia's post saying: "THIS IS INCREDIBLE"
Lucia told the Daily Mail she was due to appear on the next segment to talk about why the American sitcom was still popular with younger people despite the show ending nearly 15 years ago.
She said: "They asked me because I do comedy videos and skits on my YouTube and I did one of friends so they wanted to know why I liked it so much.
"It cut off just before the time I was supposed to go on so I rang them back and for some reason it broadcasted my incoming call to the whole nation."
Lucia's unintentionally early appearance on the BBC was spotted by scores of social media users commenting on the hilarious moment.
Eleanor Neale said: "this is unreal i’m havin a breakdown"
One said: "CHI WITH A C SKYPING BBC AS THEY WERE HAVING A SERIOUS CONVO ABOUT BREXIT IS SENDING ME"
Another added: "Lol. Hate when your mate rings when you're doing a FaceTime interview live with the BBC. #brexit"
A fellow amused fan wrote: "This girl is going to take over the world."
