Welsh social media users have criticised a BBC newsreader over her pronunciation of one of Wales’ favourite national parks.

BBC newsreader Catherine Byaruhang was seemingly unprepared when it came to pronouncing Bannau Brycheiniog on today’s BBC news.

In a story about the increase in the numbers of tourists visiting the “Instagrammable” national park, she mangled her words badly when attempting to pronounce the name of one of the most stunning parts of Wales.

When the clip was posted online the newsreader was criticised by many from Wales on social media.

Huw Edwards wouldn’t have made that mistake. Made a few others, but wouldn’t have made that one.
