Did you catch Brian Ormond's extremely awkward Lottery fail?

Oh ground, please swallow us up.

OH, WE HAVEN’T felt this much live television-induced second hand embarrassment since Aengus-gate.

Yesterday evening, Brian Ormond had a bit of a disaster on RTÉ’s National Lottery broadcast.

He started going on about a stage B, and yeah, we’ve no idea, take a look.

OH GOD.

Stop the music, put Brian out of his misery. Those are the eyes of a man screaming internally.

Naturally, people were confused.
