This is the bizarre moment a woman danced with a box of M&Ms on her head while holding a sign that read 'black candy matters' during a live Channel 4 news report.

The woman performed the strange dance for the cameras as Gary Gibbon, speaking from Philadelphia, discussed Theresa May's visit to the US.

In the clip, the woman shimmies back and forth while balancing the box of chocolates on her head while waving the sign around.

Meanwhile, the reporter attempts to ignore her, while talking about Theresa May's upcoming meeting with Donald Trump - the first world leader to meet with the new president.
