TV presenter Jake Humphrey posted a two-minute video about happiness after a passer-by criticised his work near Norwich.

Jake Humphrey, a broadcaster who hosts a self-improvement podcast called High Performance, posted a two-minute video on Instagram after being heckled in the street near Hall Road, Norwich. A passer-by had shouted at him that he had seen his videos and thought they were nonsense, then added that not everyone deserves happiness.

In the video, Humphrey addressed the heckler's assertion, saying he 'fundamentally disagrees' with the view that happiness is not for everyone. He told viewers: 'Life will hurt you, and people will leave, things will go wrong, and there will be days when happiness feels a million miles away, but you are deserving of the chance to find happiness.' He added: 'You might not believe you'll feel happy again. But please don't confuse how life feels right now with how life will always feel.'

The video was recorded last month but gained fresh attention after Humphrey posted another video this week criticising plans for a data centre near his home on the outskirts of Norwich. The monologue has since been viewed more than 4,700 times on Instagram.
