Video: Auld lad in pub tries to take sneaky photo on TV, fails miserably at espionage

Irish auld lads are blessed with impeccable comic timing…

Irish TV presenter Ciara Revins was hosting a County Matters episode in a local pub and everything was going swimmingly as she prepared to wrap up the show.

Cue the man sitting in the background to step up and ruin the day.

You can see him struggling to hold himself back as he contemplates taking a photo of the momentous day in his local.

While it is a minor inconvenience for the show’s makers, it’s everyone’s worst nightmare when you forget to turn off the flash while taking a sneaky photo and you get caught out.

We can only imagine his mortification in the moments that followed, especially when you consider how amusing the guys recording it found the whole thing…
