Awkward moment Nine News presenter Lizzie Pearl makes a VERY racy blunder live while reporting on the saltwater crocodile who ‘predicted’ the outcome of the AFL Grand Final
Nine News presenter Lizzie Pearl made a very awkward on-air gaffe on Friday when she mispronounced “croc” in a segment about the AFL Grand Final.

But while reading the statement, Lizzie accidentally said that “750kg c**k only had eyes for the Swannies”.
