A story which broke on the Rumour File this week is making headlines across the globe.

Five-year-old Beau walked away with only an ankle wound after being attacked by a huge python, which latched on to him and pulled him into the family’s pool in Byron Bay on Thursday.

The Rumour File heard about the encounter on Friday morning, and Ross and Russel later spoke to the boy’s father Ben.

The frightening snake tale has since made headlines in the BBC, the New York Post, Germany’s DW

and French publication La Dépêche!
