Sky News viewers were left gasping as correspondent Ashna Hurynag took a fall live on air after being hit by severe gusts of wind as she reported on Storm Ciarán from St Helier, Jersey.
Britain is windy
Britain is being battered by winds of up to 110mph, with the potential for three inches of rainfall and 35ft waves as Storm Ciarán strikes – with forecasters predicting unsettled weather continuing for at least another week.
Reporting from Jersey, Ashna told viewers: ‘It has to be said, I’ve never felt wind speeds like this.
‘The correspondent dressed up as warmly as possible while the wind furiously whipped her hair around as she reported.
‘We’ve been told that wind speeds have exceeded 100 miles per hour and just by looking at the sea behind me you can see those huge waves crashing onto the seafront,’ she continued.
Ashna fell halfway
Halfway through providing updates on the rough winds, Ashna fell from the curbside she was standing on and her face briefly disappeared from the screen.
‘Sorry, it has to be said it’s so windy,’ Ashna awkwardly laughed as she stepped back up and tried to regain her bearings before continuing with the morning report.

The video was shared on Sky News’ official Twitter page and fans took to the comment section to express their worry for her.
‘Feel sorry for the weather lady,’ one concerned user wrote while another worried user commented: ‘Haa this is sad. Hope no one got hurt? This looks scary,’ one person said while another sarcastically wrote: ‘Who needs a roller coaster when you can experience thrill rides right at home?’
Brits have been told to ‘stay indoors as much as possible’ as the storm makes its way across the southern coasts.
The named storm is bringing with it 110mph winds, with the possibility of up to three inches of rain falling in parts of the country.
