But perhaps the icing on the cake was when Trump was taking oath as the 45th President of the United States, and the subtitles read, "No-one wants you here...You're only in a mood because Mo's gone"

But BBC a spokesman said that they have not found any evidence or had other feedback from viewers that our main output covering the inauguration was subtitled incorrectly. The channel was also verifying if any localised issue may have caused the error.
