An Erewash Sound presenter was recently hit by a bout of hiccups during his programme.
Nick Richardson usually includes a fascinating fact in his Late Night Wind Down show, but another one showed up – that if something CAN go wrong, it WILL go wrong sooner or later.
Poor Nick battled on bravely despite the hicks that kept interrupting his chat. Apologising regularly, he carried on regardless, introducing the chilled-out tracks of his programme between 11pm and 1am.
A hiccup is an involuntary contraction of the diaphragm that may repeat several times per minute.
It produces a loud ‘hick’ sound and can be hard to get rid of.
Nick said: “I hate getting hiccups – especially here!” He has been a presenter with Erewash Sound for a number of years, news-reading and DJ-ing.
