Cathy Newman Mispronounces Twitter On Channel 4 News In Rude Gaffe (VIDEO) (POLL)

Does Channel 4 Newsreader Make Rude Gaffe Talking About Twitter?

Twitter divides social media fans, with many failing to understand its 'followers' and 'favourites' let alone the broiling surge of a 'Twitter storm.'

However it seems Channel 4 news reader Cathy Newman may have let her views of the social network slip, when she introduced Twitter as '*hitter.'

It's a split second slip, and many may have heard her say 'chitter.'

However one YouTube afficionado definitely heard a rude word, uploading the video under: "You can follow us both on sh*tter- Cathy Newman EPIC FAIL!"

Watch the clip below. Jon Snow's ears seem to prick up as Newman makes the error.

Newman tweeted the link herself, asking the viewer to decide:
