The One Show viewers branded the BBC 'incompetent' for accidentally broadcasting behind-the-scenes footage from TV set.
The blunder - which involved Alex Jones, 48, and Clara Amfo, 41 - took place ahead of Wednesday's episode.
Although BBC viewers in Scotland first saw local news, it switched to scenes including Alex and Clara taking selfies, as well as general chit-chat.
They also witnessed a wardrobe assistant making adjustments to Clara's vibrant yellow two-piece - while Alex spoke about EastEnders.
The Welsh host said: 'Paul, is there any chance someone could grab my phone?
'You don't need to go down, somebody will be down there already.'
Some viewers of The One Show witnessed an unexpected blunder involving Alex Jones and Clara Amfo
On Wednesday's episode, the pair were joined by Roisin Conaty, Dougray Scott and Carmel Laniado
Following these were the selfies as well as a promo video for the episode.
Alex fiddled with a bracelet for several seconds before the scenes cut to BBC News and then back to The One Show set.
From there, Clara spoke about the advantages of a selfie stick owing to her 'short arm' before she added: 'Well it's all happening today.'
In a further fun twist, this mishap happened to take place on Alex's 49th birthday, which was acknowledged in the show.
One viewer wrote on X: 'A few seconds, fine. Simple mistake. 2½ minutes though. Incompetence springs to mind.'
Another penned: 'Saw that. I did wonder. But they were so well behaved!'
A third commented: 'Instead of the BBC News at Six, viewers in Scotland got an accidental behind-the-scenes at The One Show.'
While a fourth said: 'The fab thing about this is the presenters just seem really nice.'
