This Is What Happens When A Hen Do Crashes The BBC’s Olympics Coverage

Congratulations, Maria!

What do you do when a Brazilian hen party crashes your live broadcast from the Rio Olympics? Invite them in for an impromptu interview, obviously.

Bride Maria, who’ll be wed in a month on September 17th, is actually getting hitched on the very beach behind Dan, and had a message for her fiancé: ‘I love you so much, you are my love, you are my crush’. A pretty tame message for a hen on the loose – maybe it was the fact that Maria’s fiancé was safely tucked up at home that gave her peace of mind. Watch the full video on BBC.co.uk here. 

She didn’t stop there. While Dan did try and swing things back to some ‘live sport’ (a bit of an understatement, Dan, it is the Olympics), but a lone male is really no match for a group of hens midway through their night.

Maria continued: ‘I want to say, last thing, Fluminas is my football team’. Well, at least she kept it on topic. As for her take on the BBC? ‘Lot of money’. Oh Maria.

As Dan quite rightly pointed out at the end of the spontaneous broadcast, ‘You don’t get that on BBC One do you?’
