A Ukrainian anchor has gone viral for how she handled a bizarre situation on live television.
Marichka Padalko was delivering a news report when her tooth fell out. Instead of flinching, Padalko kept her cool and continued reading the news.
She covered her mouth with her hand and took out her loose tooth as though nothing happened.
Padalko acknowledged the situation and posted the clip on Instagram. “This is probably the most curious experience in my 20 years as a presenter,” she wrote.
She explained that her loose tooth was the result of an accident that had happened 10 years ago, when her daughter who was playing with a metal alarm clock accidentally hit her and broke her tooth.
“Honestly, I thought the incident would go unnoticed,” she continued. “But we underestimated the attention of our viewers.”
Many viewers praised Padalko for handling the situation well and appearing unfazed. In response to the support she received, she said, “In any situation, keep calm.”
