Bride-to-be hijacks live BBC broadcast

A rowdy bride-to-be momentarily stole the limelight from the Rio Olympics by hijacking a live cross on the BBC overnight.

Presenter Dan Walker was trying to update British viewers on all the action from Saturday but had to raise his voice to be heard above a boozy chorus of singing hens night revellers.

"It look like some sort of hens do. Can we have a look," Walker said as the camera panned across to a group of singing and dancing Brazilian women.

As Walker pointed to the bride she didn't hesitate to seize the spotlight, asking the reporter where he was from as she ducked under a barrier to gate crash the broadcast.

After exchanging pleasantries the bride, named Maria, said she was getting married on 17 September as her friends chanted her name in the background.

She then used the opportunity to send a message to her soon to be husband.

"I love you so much," she said.

"You are my love love love."

Maria then told viewers to watch the BBC before having her cohort close the segment by chanting the broadcaster's name.
