If you decide to film a news report next to a very large puddle, there's only really one way things can end.

On Monday, broadcast journalist Lauren Hewitt attempted to film a local news report about housing in Norwich.

Somewhat unwisely, she chose to position herself next to a very puddly stretch of road.

Oh dear.

The best part of that clip has to be the way she stops the report, turns around, and then immediately gets splashed yet again.

Drivers can be cruel.
