Maryam Moshiri, the chief presenter at the British network, said she was "joking around a bit with the team" when she stuck up her middle finger just as the broadcast went to air.
They were joking around on set before the live program started, and either the festivities ran into airtime, or someone in the control room cut to her feed too soon.
why did she do that in first place? what’s the context? was she angery or joking?

Someone asked her to count to 4 in binary.
Let me provide an example which I think captures the spirit of the interaction that took place on this fateful day:
Greg: Ay yo Jimmy boy!
Jimmy looks up, notices his friend Greg, flips him the bird.
