A BBC NEWS presenter struggled to contain his laughter after being left tickled live on air.
Owen Shipton was in the hot seat on Wednesday afternoon, presenting the latest headlines for East Midlands Today.
During the bulletin the anchor through to the weather as Rob Rose was standing by.
There was great camaraderie between both presenters before Rob got on with the forecast.
He also gave Beeb viewers a rundown on the latest planetary parade and when they’d be likely able to see the planets.
Rob said: “The best time to do this is just after sunset, sunsets at around 5:45 so head out about six o’clock.
“These are the planets you best seeing, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, they look very bright in the sky, Mars will have a reddish hue.
“But I’m afraid you’ll need a telescope to see Neptune and you’ll struggle to see Uranus too.”
As Rob handed back to presenter Owen, he struggled to contain his laughter after getting tickled on the final planet.
Maintaining his professionalism and holding in his amusement, Owen finished off the bulletin like a pro while trying his hardest not to laugh out loud.
