Formula 1 driver Jenson Button has revealed that his triathlon preparations were interrupted when he was stung by a bee on his nose.
The McLaren ace was due to appear on BBC One's The Graham Norton Show this evening, but was forced to pull out after falling ill following the sting.
During the show, host Norton spoke on the phone to Button, who said: "I was out on my push bike this morning doing a bit of training for my charity triathlon and this bee comes along.
"It sits on my sunglasses and then it stings me on the bridge of my nose. It was a big shock initially, but I was okay. I got home and I suddenly got a massive headache, felt sick and I look like a balloon.
"Can you believe it? I go around 200 miles an hour and I get taken out by a little bee!"
Button is currently seventh in the F1 drivers' standings on 43 points, seven races into the season.
