News anchor continues live TV programme even after swallowing a fly

Canadian news anchor Farah Nasser continued the live broadcast even after she swallowed a fly during the programme on Pakistan floods. The reporter has shared the clip on the official Twitter handle of the news channel Global News, saying "we all need a laugh these days". The video has gone viral on the social media. The video has accumulated over 1 lakh 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)," she wrote on Twitter.



In the video, it can be seen that she was speaking about torrential rains and flood situations in Pakistan when a bug flies into her mouth.

As per the video, she was in the middle of a sentence, she instantly swallowed the fly and continued with the report. The whole incident took place so fast that it was hard to notice.

Pakistan is badly affected due to heavy monsoon rainfall and unprecedented levels of flooding. Nearly 1,200 people have lost their lives in Pakistan due to floods.

The flash floods have badly impacted 80 districts of the country. As many as 33 million people - including approximately 16 million children - have been affected by this year's heavy rains in Pakistan.
