Over the years, live reporting on TV has shown viewers unexpectedly funny moments and shocking incidents that have made headlines. Recently, BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood was dragged away by a dog live on air for the second time.
The reporter had just finished a weather forecast at Wimbledon with a search dog by her side. Ms Kirkwood was commenting on the dog's good behaviour, and suddenly the pooch ran off with a tennis ball in its mouth, dragging Ms Kirkwood away.
The reporter said, "It's the Chelsea Flower Show all over again." She referred to a 2021 segment on BBC Breakfast when a guide dog dragged her to the floor as she gave a live report on the weather at the garden show.
The video was shared by the media house with the caption, "'It's happened again...' Search dog Wraith got the better of Carol as he joined her for the weather forecast on #BBCBreakfast."
