TG4 pulled another Hallowe’en prank live on air on Tuesday

They're at it again.

Remember last year’s?

Anyone who tuned into TG4 on Hallowe’en night last year received a proper fright as weather presenter Caitlín Nic Aoidh appeared to be struck by lightning live on air.

It was a great prank played by the broadcaster last year and it made waves across social media with the likes of Dara Ó Briain tweeting about it at the time.

Well, they weren’t about to let this Hallowe’en pass without marking the occasion following the success of last year.

Caitlín Nic Aoidh was once again the instigator, but this one was rather less shocking then last year and more playful.

In a nod to the social media which has consumed everybody, they used some Snapchat filters on Caitlín during the broadcast… voice modifiers and all.

Well played TG4, very well played.
