Craig David came to the rescue of a fish out of water, but it didn’t exactly go swimmingly …especially for the fish

Singer Craig David showed he has a kind heart with an attempt to rescue a wayward flying fish that found itself stranded on land.

While enjoying a relaxing Maldives holiday, he spotted the unfortunate creature and filmed his rescue, only to watch it go disastrously wrong – and all on camera.

Here’s what happened.

Let’s cross now to Wikipedia, where their article on flying fish contains this important information.

“Flying fish can make powerful leaps out of the water where their long wing-like fins enable gliding for considerable distances above the water’s surface. The main reason for this behavior is thought to be to escape from underwater predators.”

Oh! Oh no! That’s – to put it mildly – unfortunate.

Imagine being a fish and surviving a predator by FLYING away, only to be thrown back in by an early 2000s UK garage artist and eaten anyway, all whilst tiktok laughs at you.

Almost inevitably, a recent Craig David advertising role cropped up.

Did somebody say: Just Eat!
