  1. Eh, it’s happened to all of us one time or another. You know, you’re on TV as a professional reporter and before you know it you’ve accidentally announced the death of the pontiff on Christmas Day. Easily done.

  2. Imagine being the Pope watching ITV has announced your death…

    Reporter: The Pope has sadly passed away

    Pope: shit the bed, Steve come quick, they’re saying I’m dead!!

    Steve: Your holiness, you are very much alive I assure you.

    Pope: …but it was ON the news Steve, are you calling me a liar?

    Steve: not at all you’re holiness I will start making preparations for your passing.

    Pope: It is a day of morning for us all, I am so terribly sad I have passed away without knowing.

    Steve…yes …your Holiness.

  3. Is it true that they check the pope’s testicles in a special chair as part of the ceremony post pope Joan? Or did I dream it after a particularly late cheesefest?

  4. I think I saw this, she said something like “with the death of.. oh sorry about that” and carries on, she was talking about the pope just before

  5. I caught this live, gave me a good chuckle. It was her “ah shit didn’t mean to say that” reaction.
