RTE news anchor ends up making the news as video goes viral

Poor old Aengus Mac Grianna — it’s one thing to have one newsreading gaffe under your belt but racking up your third in quick succession is quite another.

The dapper newsreader is no stranger to the odd gaffe on air but his most recent one on Wednesday night may be the one to send him viral and make him a star across the world.

Nobody told poor old Aengus that he was live on air for his 10pm news bulletin, so the plain people of Ireland got a full view of him self-applying a little bit of make-up so he looked fabulous for his audience.
