WATCH: Brazilian hen party crashes BBC Olympics coverage

Carl Kinsella

“Maybe that’s how they do it in Brazil.”

Poor Dan Walker. He just wants to cover the Olympics. The BBC’s man was in the middle of delivering a report from Rio when his broadcast was interrupted by a gaggle of gals celebrating a hen night.

The camera turned to focus on the parade of women enjoying a night out on the town before the bride rushed over to join Dan behind his desk to take him on a conversational detour.

Walker, ever the pro, interviewed her as though it was business as usual. Turns out her name is Maria and she’ll be getting married next month. September 17, to be exact.

Walker has said it “might be my favourite interview ever.”
