UK reporter swallows fly live on air

Sky News political correspondent Adam Boulton surprised viewers when his live report came to an unusual standstill after he swallowed a fly live on air.

Video footage of the report shows the 55-year-old broadcaster making an odd expression and pausing his cross during a live report from Downing Street.

When asked by the studio presenter if he would like to take a break, Boulton replied: "No, I swallowed a fly, that's alright — but I've recovered now."
