JJ Chalmers made a blunder whilst live on-air (Image: BBC) BBC presenter JJ Chalmers suffered a live blunder as he accidentally called Team GB a different country. The broadcaster was speaking in the studio about the Women's Hockey fixtures when he said "England versus Spain." The Scot is one of the many presenters leading the BBC coverage for the Paris Olympic Games.
During one break from the live action, JJ spoke to viewers about the afternoon action. He said: "A little reminder that over on iPlayer we've got the hockey coming on live. That's England versus Spain in the Women's tournament as they get their tournament underway.
" The Invictus Games medallist didn't appear to notice his mistake and continued as normal during the broadcast. However, a number of BBC viewers noticed the blunder. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
