Weather presenter faints on LIVE TV in ‘proper’ British manner
A popular British weather presenter has fainted during a live television report in the most ‘proper’ way imaginable.
The clip begins with BBC weather reader Rachel Mackley presenting the local weather forecast when she politely informs her fellow journalists and viewers that her health is about to take a turn for the worse.
Gracefully touching her head Mackley announces, "I'm so sorry, I'm going to faint."
The 33-year-old reporter then elegantly stumbles backwards, exiting the set as she appears to lose her footing before dramatically fainting.
The camera then quickly cuts away to show hosts Polly Evans and Rob Smith, who appear just as stunned by the incident as Mackley.
Immediately following the dramatic on-air incident Smith continues the quintessentially British moment by announcing "quick quick chaps, if we could sort Rachel out there".
Claire Cottingham, a fellow BBC presenter later tweeted about the incident: “Just spoken to Rachel Mackley and she’s doing okay."
This isn’t the first time that a TV presenter has been caught off guard, as there are plenty of things that can go wrong when the camera starts rolling.
