Interview horror- I’ve blown it 🤦‍♀️

Zoom interview with two other people.

So excited, an interview for a job I really want was brought forward from tomorrow to today. I had worked hard on preparation and performed well.

Got to the end when they asked if I had any questions, as I opened my mouth my body let out a huge fart with no warning. I tried to muffle the sound by shuffling on my seat only to create a noise which quite frankly I think will haunt me. This high pitched long squeak ensued to which I’m sure I saw the ladies eyebrows raised a little, at which point she nodded in a sympathetic way, said ‘thank you for your time’ whilst leaning forward, clearly reaching to press the ‘end’ button.
I’m absolutely mortified that my body has let me down. I’m beside myself with shame.

Is there any possibility you think they didn’t hear it? If you interviewed someone who was a good candidate but let one out at the end would (could) you overlook it?

Please can someone reassure me, I just don’t know how to get past this.

Have I blown it? (Excuse the pun)
