Gabby Logan is forced to apologise to Amazon Prime viewers as pundit swears during the broadcaster's live Champions League coverage
Amazon Prime presenter Gabby Logan was forced to apologise to viewers after a pundit swore live on air.
The broadcaster picked up the rights to the coverage of Manchester City’s Champions League game against Feyenoord on Tuesday, which finished 3-3 as City collapsed late on.
In what had appeared to be a routine victory for the Premier League champions, three goals in the last 15 minutes of the match turned the game on its head, with City dropping yet more points in their dire run of form.
After the game, the pundits on Amazon were discussing the game and were trying to put their fingers on the reason for their struggles. Alan Shearer picked out one incident, which was a quick free-kick in the dying embers.
But eyebrows were raised when Josephine Henning took to the microphone to give her analysis. The former Arsenal defender swore, and appeared to realise her error right away as she looked towards Logan.
The presenter wasted no time in apologising, and appeared unimpressed as she did so to viewers of the channel.

Josephine Henning raised eyebrows when she described City’s performance as ‘s***’
‘I’m talking about if you want to accept that the situation is s***,’ Henning said. ‘Gabby is looking at me like “Oh my god she said this!”.’
‘It is the worst. In the second half, they looked afraid. I could see the fear. You have to accept it but then you have to face it brutally.’
Logan swiftly added: ‘I’m just looking at the time it’s 10:20pm. I do apologise.’
Social media users didn’t seem too fussed, however, with one fan taking to X to write: ‘I’ll say it again. Champions League coverage on Prime Video Sport is next level.
‘Just for Josie Henning calling it as it it. When it’s s***, people should be angrier. Love it!’
Pep Guardiola’s side had lost their last five matches – including 4-1 against Sporting Lisbon last time out in Europe – and had hope to get back to winning ways before a difficult trip to Anfield to face Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend.
The result leaves them down in 15th in the Champions League table, two points short of the top eight and having played one more game than half of the teams in the competition.
City have now conceded 17 goals in their last six games – a run which has seen them lose five games and win just once.
That includes a 4-0 defeat by Tottenham at the weekend which saw them concede chances at will, while they also shipped four to Sporting, three on Tuesday and two on three occasions.
