Virtual reality Grandma: 'I've never squealed like that before'

Marie Shaw from Virginia tried Google's Cardboard Virtual Reality glasses for the first time on Christmas Day.

The 88-year-old was sent on a virtual rollercoaster ride with her grandson's headset and her reaction soon went viral.

She told 5 live's Charlie Charlton she screamed so much because she had 'never been on a rollercoaster ride before'. She said the experience was so real she 'almost tore [her] daughter's hand off'.
