“Now today we had a big contrast in temperature across the UK — just 12 degrees in the coastal parts of Eastern England, with cloudy skies. But in the sunshine, in Northwest Wales…just up the road from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, the temperature got to 21 Celsius,” he said, never missing a beat.

The video, which Dutton shared on his Facebook page, has gotten more than 5 million views on the social media site, plus 2 million on YouTube, in just two days. “It had to be done!” he captioned the clip.

Later, on Sept. 10, he shared a screenshot of the video on Catherine Zeta-Jones‘ page. The Welsh actress, 45, had posted the clip from the UK’s Telegraph a few hours earlier, and commended Dutton on his pronunciation.
