In the build-up to tonight's game between England and Scotland, Sky Sports News reporter Nick Collins was filling football fans in on the injury to Michael Carrick.

However, the focus turned to his own wellbeing after he fell from a ladder positioned outside Wembley.

With the camera cutting back to Jim White in the studio, who appeared to do his utmost to keep a straight face, viewers were told: "We'll return to Wembley just as soon as Nick tells us he's okay and fit to broadcast. Stay with us."
