A BBC presenter fell in a swimming pool on live TV and took it like a champ

Swimming pools are notoriously treacherous interview locations.

Mind the step.

BBC Breakfast presenter Mike Bushell was interviewing the England swimming team about the Commonwealth Games on Wednesday morning when, all of a sudden, a wild swimming pool appeared.

Yes that's right he fell in. Want to see it looped?

This is what breakfast TV is for.

Good old BBC, truly a public service.
