“What reels?” The Glastonbury visitor leaves BBC Breakfast viewers beside themselves after a hilariously confused early morning interview at Worthy Farm
A reveler preparing for Glastonbury has been called the festival’s unlikely early comedy hero after a mysterious interview at Worthy Farm went viral.
The music fan with a heavy Liverpudlian accent was asked by BBC journalist Colin Paterson about the big curlers she wore in her hair – but after experiencing a suitcase nightmare on the way to the festival site, all she could think of was some kind of curler… the wheels of her annoying suitcase.
During the dawn interview, Paterson asked her, “What about the rollers?” after addressing those arriving at Somerset Farm on the first official day of this year’s festival.
After laughing and looking down at her suitcase, she opened up about having a “nightmare” navigating the Somerset grounds, saying: “It just all broke and we literally had to den.” all the way.”
The insistent reporter asked again, “What about the rollers?” To which she responded with a deadpan “What curlers?” … before the penny dropped that he was talking about her hair prep.
The Glastonbury fan smiled and explained that she thought the reporter had spoken about the wheels on her suitcase, before kindly clarifying: “I just got a curly head this morning.”
The hilarious encounter left viewers wanting more, saying they were “obsessed” with the Glastonbury fan and her cameo on breakfast television.
RuPaul’s Drag Race winner The Vivienne dubbed the TV moment “Camp!”

Tonight, Britain’s biggest music festival really gets going. Around 200,000 people flock to Worthy Farm in Somerset.
Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed the Arctic Monkeys will be headlining the Pyramid Stage on Friday after their performance was questioned earlier this week.
The rock band announced on Monday that frontman Alex Turner was suffering from acute laryngitis, which forced them to cancel Wednesday’s show at Dublin’s Marlay Park.
Glastonbury started on Thursday, headliners this year included the Arctic Monkeys and Elton John
Broadcasting from the festival site at Worthy Farm, Zoe Ball asked during her BBC Radio 2 show if the band was still playing, to which Emily replied: “They’re in”, to a round of applause.
“It was a little tight for a minute and we thought about having a serious back-up plan, but no, luckily it’s their turn so that’s great,” she added.
This comes after she revealed there were “backup plans” in place should the group be forced to pull out of their headlining slot.
