Shock treatment from Sky
Forget about I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, Sky News put one of its own reporters through a Bush Tucker-style trial today - with excruciating results.

In the name of research, reporter Derek Tedder was zapped with a Taser, the police stun gun which has been linked with a number of fatalities in the US.

And his shock conclusion?

It's bleedin' painful.

"It's like someone ramming you with a bed of very sharp nails over your entire body," said Tedder.

"I couldn't do anything but fall to the floor."

And swear a lot, given the hasty addition of the good old bleep machine.

His Sky News bosses were obviously impressed, and are currently running the video about once every five minutes.

A Donal MacIntyre-style series - Tedder Undercover? - can only be a commissioning round away.
