A racial slur was edited out of the Baftas ceremony before it was broadcast, but another one aired in error, the BBC's chief content officer has said.

Tourette's campaigner John Davidson shouted the N-word when US actors Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage on Sunday.

The shout was audible in the broadcast, although many viewers would have struggled to make out the word.

BBC content chief Kate Phillips emailed staff on Tuesday, reiterating the BBC's apology for it not being edited out of the broadcast, adding: "We understand how distressing this was."

Phillips confirmed other instances of offensive language had been removed, telling staff: "The edit team removed another racial slur from the broadcast."
