Gasps around (some of) Wales were heard tonight (June 21) as The One Show talked about the yearly, mid Wales tradition of bog snorkelling, and host Angela Scanlon and guest Joel Dommett tried to pass it off as an Irish pastime.
Comedian Dommett was on the show with his wife Hannah Cooper and were chatting about their new podcast Never Have I Ever, because that's what everyone famous does now, which will see the pair try out new things. Viewers suggestions included the yearly tradition of bog snorkelling, which was started in Llanwrtyd Wells back in 1976.
Competitors race to complete two consecutive lengths of a 60-yard (55 m) water-filled trench cut through a peat bog in the shortest time possible, wearing traditional snorkel, diving mask and flippers. It's gross and fun and definitely Welsh.
