Irish newscaster Nick Sheridan has become the latest viral video star after a story tickled his funny bone while presenting on Scottish television.
Sheridan, a former presenter on RTÉ2's news2day, was presenting on STV2 when a story about a court case seriously tested his ability to keep a straight face.
STV2 also saw the funny side, posting the video on their social media with the caption: "With local news stories like this, sometimes it's hard to keep a straight face..."

Afterwards, the Wexford man thanked people for their "kind words".
Thanks to everyone for their kind words. Thankfully humans are still reading the news and not robots so these things happen 😄
