It's every reporters worst nightmare.

The rain is pouring down, the wind is howling and they are still expected to get that perfect piece to camera.

Mustard TV's Lauren Hewitt thought she was all prepared with her small black umbrella as she reported on the fears that Costessey has reached a saturation point when it comes to housing on a rainy Monday.

But what she did not notice was the ever growing puddle just behind her until a car drove through it and sent a deluge of muddy rain water in her direction.

She was then soaked by another car before a yellow van drove through it and sent a wave of water straight into her face.

Ever the professional Lauren fell into fits of laughter before returning to the damp spot.

Keep up the good work Lauren!
