A news host has suffered through a tough case of the hiccups while live on air. Jayne Secker, 53, struggled through her Sky News bulletin on Thursday, clearly fighting back hiccups. “The wait is over,” the U.K.-based journalist said at the top of the show. “After more than half a century, astronauts are finally on their way back [hiccup] to the moon!” On screen at the time was footage from the Artemis II mission, which is taking four astronauts around the Moon and back to Earth in 10 days. Secker was out of shot as a result, but the audio footage suggests there may have been efforts to suppress giggles in the studio. She paused, trying to maintain her composure, before continuing, “Artemis II are currently orbiting the Earth, tonight their rocket is due to change direction and head towards its destination.” Another pause followed. “Back down on the ground, the launch was watched by thousands, some of whom had traveled halfway across [hiccup] the world.”
