Russian reporter forgets that she is on live TV

In a country like Russia, where the weather is often brutally cold, it is understandable that people would want to layer up over their uniform. But what would happen if a person became so cosy in their jacket that they completely missed their cue for a live television broadcast?

This is what happened to Maria Ryabova, a reporter for OTV Sakhalin. During a live crossing covering one of the country's public holidays (Victory Day), Maria stands with her jacket on, casually chatting to someone off camera.

When she misses her cue, a producer hastily tells her: "Take off your coat! Throw it on the ground!"

After quickly shrugging off her jacket, Maria immediately goes on to put on her most professional smile and continue with the report.

All's well that ends well.

Nevertheless, this is a reminder to stay alert at all times. After all, you don't want to be caught "sleeping on the job"!
