Australian Radio Reporter Has Hiccups On Air

Hiccups can be a nuisance at the best of times - but what if you’re reading the news live-to-air? If you’re Melbourne newsreader Kate Wilson, you steel yourself, take a deep breath and soldier on, hilariously. The 3AW journalist was hit with a bout of hiccups just moments before she was due to deliver the 3am news bulletin from the station's Collins Street studios yesterday morning.

Realising she would not have time to dash to the kitchen and gulp a glass of water, and with no-one else in the office to take over, she resigned herself to the task at hand. ‘I’m sitting there, I’m swallowing, I’m trying to just get rid of them in any way I can,’’ Ms Wilson said.

During the bulletin, Ms Wilson battled with her spasming diaphragm through earnest segments on Muammar Gaddafi and Libya to the latest sports news, not once losing her composure or cracking under pressure. After coming off air, she was able to banish her hiccups using a well-known remedy - placing her head upside down and pouring water down the back of her throat.
