Journalist struggles to read the news while being chased by a giant pig on live TV

A runaway pig on Greek TV has gone viral after appearing to take a liking to a journalist on the ANT1 channel.

Lazos Mantikos was attempting to report on the beach town of Kineta being devastated by torrential rains but struggled to get the job done as a result of the attentions of the speckled sow.

The viewers of Good Morning Greece were treated to the glorious sight of anchor Giorgos Papadakis cutting to the reporter at the scene who proceeded to utter one of the more bizarre sentences from the annals on live television:

Good morning, we have an issue. Giorgos, can you hear me? We have a pig here that has been chasing us since the morning.... Sorry guys, I can’t stand because it’s biting me.

The studio presenters were understandably in hysterics with Papadakis concluding the segment with the immortal words, “Try to repair your relationship. I’ll leave you to repair.”
