For many, the idea of appearing on live television is a nerve-wracking prospect, where any slip-up can be captured forever. From verbal gaffes to unexpected stretches caught on camera, these moments often become internet folklore. This week, a new and brilliantly bizarre entry was added to the annals of live TV mishaps, courtesy of a Welsh presenter and her unexpectedly agile husband.
The Crawl That Captured The Nation
The incident occurred on January 13, 2026, during the S4C evening show Heno. Presenter Elin Fflur, 41, was dialling into the programme from her home in Anglesey, North Wales, after heavy snow prevented her from travelling to the studio. Speaking to co-host Owain Tudur Jones, the former footballer, Elin explained her situation, stating it was "lovely" but that the roads were too difficult.
As she spoke, viewers witnessed an extraordinary sight in the background. Elin's husband, Jason, suddenly appeared, crawling swiftly across the floor on all fours in what has been described as a spider or crab-like motion. The surreal scene unfolded silently behind the unsuspecting presenter as she continued her live interview.
From Apology to Viral Sensation
Elin, hearing some noise, briefly apologised during the call, hoping to be back in the studio the next day. Co-host Owain, however, had seen the comical intrusion. He jovially told her, "You don't need to apologise Elin, hopefully I'll be with you tomorrow and we'll laugh and enjoy the clip we just saw of Jason crawling on the floor by the side of the piano."
The show's producers quickly embraced the moment, posting the clip online with the Welsh caption: 'Nid ci, nid cath, ond Jason… O, ni’n caru teledu byw', which translates to 'Not a dog, not a cat, but Jason… Oh we love live telly.' The footage rapidly spread across social media, leaving viewers in stitches.
A 'Moment' of Internet Fame
Elin did return to the studio the following day, where she and Owain discussed the now-viral clip. Owain remarked, "Well, amazing. Jason or Spiderman or a crab as I like to call it. He's gone viral Elin." In a wry admission, Elin responded, "I've been trying to go viral for years, and he's done it just like that. It was a moment wasn't it?"
The incident serves as a perfect, light-hearted example of the unpredictable charm of live broadcasting, where even the most professional settings can be delightfully disrupted by everyday domestic life. For Jason, a quick crawl to avoid the camera's line of sight has earned him an unexpected place in UK television's hall of funny moments.
