BBC presenter spotted enjoying himself at pub in Somerset

Well-known for a long career with the BBC spanning nearly 30 years, Mike Bushell is a recognised figure, having joined the BBC News channel at its launch in 1997.

The 60-year-old presenter has appeared on television ever since, with this year marking his 20th year as a sports presenter for BBC Breakfast.

Known for his energetic reporting style and willingness to try almost any sport on live television, he was seen relaxing and enjoying the football at The Vine Tree pub in Frome on May 6 -a day full of enticing fixtures, including the second leg of Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League and Brighton and Hove Albion vs Arsenal in the Women's Super League.

Bushell was not treated to any winners on the night in those two big games as both ended in 1-1 draws. He did look all smiles, however, in a photograph posted with dog, Keith.

"Keith was very excited this weekend to spot that the legendary BBC News Sport presenter Mike Bushell decided to visit Frome's only dedicated sports pub, The Vine in Frome, to catch the footy," said a spokesperson for The Vine Tree.

The Vine Tree, located in the heart of Frome, is a traditional sports-focused pub on Berkley Road, which is open seven days a week.

Associated with the Cheese and Grain, it is a popular venue for a variety of up-and-coming bands and musicians.
