BBC presenter Mike Bushell suffered a hilarious live TV accident after falling into a swimming pool mid-interview.

Coming live from Australia’s Gold Coast on BBC Breakfast to speak to UK swimmers competing in the Commonwealth Games, Bushell was set to conduct an interview in the apt surroundings of a nearby pool.

Things took a turn for the deep end however when the presenter didn’t realise there was a step, taking a plunge and nearly submerging his microphone into the water.

Speaking as swimmers Sarah Vasey, Adam Peaty and Ben Proud were in hysterics, Bushell said: ‘I didn’t see the step! Sorry about that.




‘Well that’s given you all a good laugh. Just look before you get in a swimming pool in future.

‘All the people watching here are literally on the floor.’

Luckily not many viewers saw it. Nope, completely under the radar.

Just watched #bbcbreakfast presenter Mike wonderfully composed as he misjudged the depth of the water he was interviewing in. This is how a classic TV blooper is born! — Gen (@louisegenna) April 11, 2018

A vintage blooper is born.
