A BBC reporter accidentally plunged into a pool during a live interview at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.

A BBC reporter left England's Commonwealth Games swimmers in hysterics when he fell into a swimming pool during a live interview.

Mike Bushell stepped into the pool but misjudged the step before he even got a chance to ask a question.

"Just look before you get into the swimming pool in future," Bushell said as he climbed out of the water.

The swimmers Sarah Vasey and Adam Peaty struggled to maintain their composure as Bushell continued with the interview. 

The interview was cut short as Bushell's microphone and sound pack were damaged by the water.
