Scientist mortified as dog starts vomiting while she's on Zoom watched by 30,000 people

A scientist was left mortified after her dog started loudly vomiting while she was on a Zoom call.

The call was for an awards ceremony - with an audience of 30,000 people watching.

PHD student Ellie Hurer was nearly at a loss for words when the dog started retched in the background.

There where scientists, inventors and Nobel laureates on the call watching when her pet began throwing up.

"I was literally sitting in this award ceremony for hours before I had my interview in it and he didn't make any noise," Ellie said.

"Literally as I went live he started. You couldn't write it."

Ellie is studying Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at University of Hertfordshire.

She posted posted the hilarious video on TikTok, which has now attracted a whopping 643,000 views.

One viewer said: "Tears running down my face, this is the best and so real."

Another wrote: "That noise. I would have just cracked up laughing.

"Well done you for keeping going."

Another laughed at Ellie's tactics to block the noise of retching out, saying: "The way you got closer to the mic to try to block the sound out too."

Earlier this year, a pub manager's Zoom call was awkwardly interrupted by some squirrels who where getting it on outside his window.

The squirrels were caught clinging onto the wall for dear life while they enjoyed a love session.

Another woman was left humiliated after she accidentally left Zoom running while speaking to her plumber.

Without realising, she informed her classmates of the 'monster s***' she took that blocked her toilet.
