Nicola Sturgeon fans remember time she got pelted by a tennis ball following resignation

With news of Nicola Sturgeon's resignation, fans of the SNP leader are remembering one of her most iconic moments in power - getting whacked by a tennis ball.

Unfortunately for her, the cameras were rolling, and McLaughlin hit the ball so hard it whacked Sturgeon around the back of the head.

Brutal.
