London: Sky News reporter Joe Tidy was sent to cover the Notting Hill Carnival in London over the weekend.
During an early morning live broadcast on Sunday, excited carnival-goers made sure he wouldn’t feel left out during the festivities and promptly covered him in colourful paint. Tidy’s good-humoured reaction is winning the Internet.
A video of the colourful incident, tweeted by Sky News, begins with Tidy speaking to a group of carnival-goers covered head-to-toe in paint.
A group of revellers soon gathers around them and suddenly, his shirt gets sprayed with paint, reports NDTV.
The smiling Tidy announces, ‘Here we go, the paint, here we go, oh dear. Okay, yes, that’s a bit of paint on me, great.’
Then, a carnival-goer smears bright blue paint across the journalist’s face.
‘Oh come on, it was going to happen, wasn’t it? Right, I’ll hand back to you guys,’ Tidy laughs sheepishly as he hands over to the anchors in studio.
The camera cuts to the two anchors in studio trying to suppress their laughter.
‘Joe, if you’re going to be down there, you’ve got to get into the spirit of it,’ one of them says.
