A video of two TV news anchors losing it when the word "balls" is used in a report has become an online sensation.

The two journalists at Michigan-based News Channel 3 burst into giggles when a reporter on the segment about a children’s ball pit signs the segment off with the words: "They’ll let David keep his balls."

The camera cuts back to the studio where the male and female anchor start laughing, before the man walks off screen, apparently unable to contain himself.

Giggles: The pair's initial shock turns into laughter

His colleague, manages to blurt out: "I’m slightly concerned by the story we’ve put on television,” before urging him to come back.

She then tells viewers that they’ll be right back. Now thousands of people have viewed the video, which is being extensively shared on social media and blogs.

Meet the sewer surfers! Watch daredevils perform incredible stunts in a drain

The British talents swap a boat for a portable petrol winch in the amazing footage shot by filmmaker Andrew Eddy

A talented group of wakeboarders have showcased numerous unimaginable tricks in a small overflow drain.

The professional group made use of their urban environment by swapping a boat for a portable petrol winch in a usually serene stretch of water.

Innovative, British sportsmen Matt Crowhurst, Lee Debuse, Christian Koester and wakeskater Ollie Moore risked their lives for the dangerous stint in Surrey which was shot by filmmaker Andrew Eddy.

Former athlete Andrew, who has more than 20 years experience in the sport said any waterway can become a playground for extreme sport.

Cool dude: A fearless wakeboarder using some flood conditions to his advantage in Surrey, England

He added: “Riding along areas such as canals and overflow drains is becoming more popular.

“Any waterway where we can practice in a new place is appealing.

“Obviously most wakeboarders are propelled by a boat but we like to improvise and used a petrol winch that had a spool of rope with a handle on.

“There has been a good reaction to the video – I think people appreciate we looked for somewhere to ride that was very different and used the storm waters in a way that was positive and original.”

Slick: Just chilling out before he takes part in a dangerous extreme sport...  

Wakeboarding is one of Britain's fastest growing water sports and can be enjoyed all over the country, especially when conditions are calm.

Riding in shallow water is often more dangerous for wake boarders. But the thrill-seeking athletes land their tricks with apparent ease.

Andrew said: “They were all professionals so the risk is reduced, but given the shallow depth of the water, it was still pretty dangerous.
