WATCH: British News Anchor Mistakenly Says the Pope is Dead on Christmas
A British news anchor mistakenly declared that Pope Francis was dead during a Christmas evening broadcast.
ITV’s Kylie Pentelow falsely announced the Pope’s death while covering his Christmas remarks at the Vatican.
“The Pope’s festive address focused on his prayers for the pandemic to come to an end,” Pentelow said. “He said vaccines should be made available to those most in need.”
Pentelow continued, “his death was announced…”
The reporter quickly caught herself, saying “uh, excuse me.”
