Newsreader loses it over hilarious 'goat man' story

Part of being a newsreader is maintaining an air of dignified professionalism – but even the most seasoned journalists occasionally lose their composure. 

That was the case for this Canadian reporter who was practically brought to tears while reading about 'goat man' Thomas Thwaites.

Thwaites was recently awarded the Ig Nobel Prize for spending three days living as a goat while wearing prosthetic limbs.

The bizarre footage of Thwaites eating grass and wandering around a herd was too much for the News Winnipeg presenter, who couldn't even finish reading the script.

The video of the newsreader's hilarious breakdown was uploaded to YouTube just yesterday, but has already been watched more than 100,000 times.
