Did this local news anchor swallow a fly on live TV?

Get away! THIS local news anchor couldn’t be phased by something falling into her mouth in the middle of her show!

Social media users praise Boston 25It is Vanessa Welch after a clip of her having an unpleasant moment on live television went viral. Shared on social media, the video shows the news anchor talking about a VERY serious topic while struggling to ignore something in her eyes. We don’t know exactly what it is, but after a while it seems to be… a FLY! OH MY GOD!

She really showed professionalism when the mystery object fell from her eyes and landed in her mouth mid-sentence. And almost without hesitation, she swallowed the thing and continued talking! Watch (below):

Yeah !

In the comments, social media users couldn’t help but be impressed by his commitment to professionalism:

“That’s professionalism there”

“I have NEVER seen this level of professionalism, SHIT”

“The way I would have started to hit myself »

“For anyone looking to know the name of the anchor, it is Venus. Ms. Venus Flytrap”

HA!

Other commenters suspected (and hoped) that the object was a pair of false eyelashes instead of a fly:

“Tell me it was an eyelash, tell me it was an eyelash”

“It looks more like she’s wearing individual lash strips (like Lashify) and one of them came loose and came off when she blinked”

Anyway, congratulations to her! But also ewwww!

Any reactions?? Let us know in the comments!
