A BBC reporter has a nightmare experience when a sheep decided to urinate on him during a report.

Ewe could say it was the kind of live-stream TV report that gives you a warm feeling; a number one shot, even.

Everything was going well for BBC Northern Ireland correspondent Conor Macauley during his report on a couple who adopted Button, a three-month-old pet lamb.

But as Macauley segued into why the sheep's owners had fallen foul of the department of agriculture, Button decided to relieve herself.



The crew could not contain their laughter, but Macauley seemed good-natured as he shook his boot on camera.



Due to the wee accident, Macauley's segment probably received more attention than he could have dreamed of. Media around the world have been shearing his leg-warming story, with the BBC, to their credit, leading the pack.
