A Brazilian Hen Party Crashed The BBC's Olympics Coverage And It Was Lovely

Dan Walker interviewed the bride-to-be on Copacabana beach late on Saturday night, leading to a chant of "BBC! BBC! BBC!" by the hen party. (Note: This post contains a video that can only be viewed in the UK.)

A hen party interrupted BBC Four’s late night coverage of the Olympic Games and presenter Dan Walker handled it like a pro.

It started after a loud amount of noise came from the street nearby and Walker asked the cameraman to see what was going on.

The bride-to-be, Maria, asked Walker "where are you from?" before trying to enter the studio area.

"I want to say something for my husband," Maria said. Walker responded by saying: "A message for your husband? I hope he's watching BBC Four."

Then, after finding out that Walker is from the BBC, she made her entire hen party chant "BBC! BBC! BBC! BBC!"

Writing on his Facebook, Walker said: "How do you solve a problem like Maria? You interview her live on TV! What a star. 546 things could have gone wrong but she was a delight."

Did this really just happen? Invaded by a hen party. Maria is getting married next month. https://t.co/0166XxjMRP

Maria was sent a link to the video by her friends on the morning after. "It is really crazy how these things happen nowadays," she told BuzzFeed News. "I consider myself a very spontaneous person and I think that's why we (Dan and I) handled the situation well."

At the end of the interview, Maria jokingly did a "call me" to viewers at home, to which Walker responded: "You're getting married!"

Good luck on your wedding, Maria!
