Johnathan Thurston received a shock surprise while doing a live TV cross from a Townsville Beach this morning.

The Qld NRL star was chatting with hosts of the TODAY show when he spotted a shark swimming in front of him.

Thurston could be seen pointing towards the ocean, yelling “Shark” as the TV cameras shifted towards the water.
