The hilarious moment Sky News correspondant Deborah Haynes eats a FLY

Sky News’ reporters are usually well-skilled when it comes to handling surprises during a live broadcast.

But Deborah Haynes left her followers in hysterics on Wednesday, after revealing she nearly choked on a fly during a report from the NATO Summit. 

In a hilarious clip she shared on social media, Deborah was forced to turn away from the camera and cough to try and clear her throat after the unexpected interruption.

The brief clip, which now has over 11,000 views, showed Deborah in the middle of reporting on the Summit in Lithuania, before suddenly coughing and turning away from the camera, telling a member of the crew: ‘I just ate a fly!’

Luckily she saw the funny side, captioning her tweet: ‘I just ate a fly’ – the perils of recording a TV piece at night with bugs swarming around the light #NATOSummit.’

This isn’t the first time a news anchor’s report has been interrupted by a rogue bug, with Farah Nasser, who is a Global National anchor in Canada, sharing footage of her own ordeal in 2022.

In the footage, she began to introduce a story about Pakistan’s flooding.

But her facial expression changed as she gulped and grimaced, struggling to swallow down a fly.

She said of the now-viral clip, which has racked up more than 100,000 views:  ‘Sharing because we all need a laugh these days. 

‘Turns out it’s not just @fordnation, I swallowed a fly on air today. (Very much a first world problem given the story I’m introducing).’

Speaking to CNN about the moment later, she admitted that she could feel the bug ‘fluttering’ in the back of her throat’ and said that it was stuck.  

Despite the situation, she carried on presenting the segment that she was introducing. 

In a separate interview on ET Canada, she explained in more detail how the situation unfolded.

Before she began to present, she had seen the fly in the studio but was only worried that it would cover the camera lens. 

However, the fly was suddenly in her throat and she had to quickly pass over to the reporter. 

She said of the clip going viral that she was happy to make people laugh, even though it was at her expense. 

It comes after Ontario Premier Doug Ford, whom she mentioned in her tweet swallowed a bee live on air.
