News Anchor's tooth falls out live on TV, she handles the situation like a pro

New Delhi : She may have lost her tooth, but she did not lost her calm when the incident happened live on television. News anchors are trained to remain professional and remain calm all the time when they are live on TV; doing exactly what has been taught, a Ukrainian broadcaster handled her situation like a pro and kept reading the news even after collecting her falling tooth live.

According to 7 News, Marichka Padalko was reading the news live in Ukraine - as she had done multiple times in her years-long career - when she felt her front tooth loose. Instead of panicking or stopping the broadcast, the TSN reporter put her hand to her mouth to catch the tooth and continued reading the news without missing a beat - impressing viewers. 

"This is probably my most curious experience in 20 years as a presenter," Ms Padalko wrote while sharing a video of the incident on Instagram, according to a translation provided by the New York Post.

While her video has gone viral on the social media, she claims that it was expected that the video will go unnoticed.

"I honestly thought the incident would go unnoticed," said Ms Padalko. "But we underestimated the attentiveness of our viewers."
