We’ve all been there.
You’re sat in your office when a colleague comes in coughing and sneezing all over the shop, believing they’re doing the right thing by honouring their work commitments when in actual fact all they’re doing is giving you and everyone else in the office their germs. Cut to two days later and Jan from Finance is running the whole bloody show (thanks Jan) whilst everyone else is tucked up watching This Morning.
This is something that newsreader Mary Nightingale knows all about after she fell victim to “the ITN cold” (her words), which came into full effect during Monday’s ITV Evening News.
And judging by the clip below, Mary was OVER IT.
After telling everyone watching that she had the aforementioned “ITN cold”, she then croaked her way through the intro into a news piece about McDonalds’ controversial Monopoly game, only just managing to get to the end before running out of steam.
It was all very Theresa May...
And viewers were in awe of her perseverance...
Making it to the end of Monday’s programme, Mary told viewers she was off for “a Lemsip or a whiskey”, which we’re pretty sure (a) goes against advertising guidelines (*other cold remedies are available) and (b) makes us love Mary just a little bit more - and we weren’t the only ones...
After coming off air, Mary took to Twitter to apologise, insisting “normal service will resume later this week” before joking that she “may give Theresa May a call for advice”.
Let’s hope she makes a speedy recovery. Get well soon Mary!
