Sky News political editor Adam Boulton chokes on fly live on-air

Flies can be a nuisance at the best of times, let alone when you're trying to talk live on television.

Sky News' political editor Adam Boulton was trying to deliver important details about the government cabinet reshuffle, when a fly decided to die for a share of the limelight.

Presenter Dermot Murnaghan urgently asked his colleague if he needed a break, as he starts to choke up and pull bizarre facial expressions.

"No I'm fine, I swallowed a fly but I've recovered now," Boulton replies while pulling at his tie and attempting to move on from the subject.

This isn't the first on-air spat for the outgoing editor. In 2010, he clashed with Tony Blair's former spin doctor Alastair Campbell. Watch the moment below:
