BBC Newsreader leaves fans open-mouthed with 'fake' sign-off stunt live on TV | The Sun
A BBC NEWS presenter left fans open-mouthed with a 'fake' sign-off as she ended a bulletin.
Viewers tuned in to Point West on Sunday afternoon for their latest news update.
Presenter Pam Caulfield fronted the bulletin, but left telly-watchers scratching their heads.
As she closed the programme, she turned to her laptop in the studio.
Beeb fans then spotted that Pam was clearly pretending to type until the show went off-air.
She had told viewers: "But that's it from me. I hope you have a lovely afternoon, whatever you're up to. Goodbye."

To illustrate his discussion of how Iran could fit into the possible conflict, Mark asked for a map to be made visible on the screen.
One quickly came up behind Sir Kim, showing Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Iran and Iraq.
However, there was a huge mistake on the screen that Mark thankfully caught.
“Iraq and Iran – I think the labels have been put the wrong way round there,” he explained.
