A live cross on Breakfast took a dark twist this week as viewers were given a glimpse into the inner turmoil of one of their reporters.
A series of crosses to Wellington reporter Kaitlin Ruddock inspired a new category in this week's episode of Media Ocre, the Grumpy Awards, after the camera showed just how little she was enjoying covering recent earthquake damage.
But in a curious twist, it turned out there was plenty of happiness bottled up inside Ruddock, with the reporter treating viewers to a sudden singalong.
