This RTÉ presenter took a 'bollard to the balls' and of course the internet caught it

Eyes EVERYWHERE.

YOU NEVER KNOW who’s watching. You just never know.

RTÉ2 and 2fm presenter Stephen Byrne learned a valuable lesson about the internet when strolling around Dublin earlier today. He wrote on Twitter:

Walking in town earlier I took a bollard to the balls and of course the internet was there to capture and tweet it to me

And sure enough…

Oh. Wow. We’re guessing Orna here was trying to take a sneaky Snapchat of Stephen off the telly, and ended up getting more than she bargained for.

Her photography skills are certainly making a lot of people smile today, though:

This made my afternoon. Love you Stephen. https://t.co/z5baA7dXaH

Thankfully, Stephen told DailyEdge.ie that he thinks the whole thing is “hilarious”. You’re a better man than all of us, Stephen.
