Journalist becomes internet sensation as audience believes she accidentally consumed insect during on-air segment.

The video of a news anchor seemingly swallowing a fly during a live broadcast has taken the internet by storm. Vanessa Welch, a seasoned journalist for Boston25, was in the middle of her report when a small black object appeared on her eyelash. Without missing a beat, she continued speaking as the object fell onto her face and into her mouth. Despite a quick grimace, Vanessa maintained her composure and professionalism, leaving viewers in awe and demanding that she deserves a raise.

The footage has left many viewers stunned, with some even joking that Vanessa may have to swallow a spider to catch the fly. One Twitter user, @jamms_47, insisted that she deserves a raise for not even batting an eye. Another top comment by @nathanhughes9 hilariously referred to her as "Ms. Venus Flytrap". However, some viewers are hoping that the object was not actually a fly, but rather a clump of her fake eyelashes.

According to @maiseylovesme, it's possible that one of her individual strip lashes detached and came off while blinking. Others, like @al_exx_is, reassured everyone that it was just a lash cluster and not a swarm of spiders. Regardless, Vanessa's ability to carry on with her report without missing a beat is truly impressive. She has been a news anchor for Boston25 for a remarkable eight years, showing her dedication and professionalism.

This is not the first time a reporter has had a similar encounter on air. In 2014, Sky News reporter Adam Boulton also swallowed a fly during a live report. He momentarily stopped speaking and was asked if he needed a break due to a potential fatigue. However, Adam quickly recovered and continued his report like a true professional. He even joked about the incident, stating "No, I swallowed a fly, that's alright - I've recovered now."

The video of Vanessa swallowing the fly has caught the attention of many, and the agency has reached out to her for comment. If you have a story, video, or pictures to share, the entertainment team at the agency would love to hear from you. You can email them, call, or visit their Submit Stuff page. The internet may be buzzing with this hilarious incident, but Vanessa's professionalism and dedication to her job are what truly stand out.
