The TSN host put her hand in front of her mouth to catch the tooth and carried on as if nothing had happened.

The moment was naturally caught on camera which was then posted on social media. The news anchor confirmed that she had lost part of her front tooth while she was reading the news in an Instagram post. "This is probably my most curious experience in 20 years as a presenter," she said. "Live broadcasting is wonderful because it is always unpredictable," the reporter added.

The TV anchor was commended by people for handling the incident like a pro and not letting it disturb her reporting. "You reacted as if you lose your teeth every day," a colleague of Marichka commented. The Ukrainian journalist said that it had likely happened after an incident involving her young daughter over 10 years ago, according to reports.

Her daughter reportedly grabbed a heavy metal clock from the window and started swinging the clock as if it is a toy. All this happened when Marichka was asleep. The clock hit the journalist in the mouth, damaging her front tooth.
