It is common for viewers to witness unusual situations during live news, such as the presenter swallowing a fly or suffering a resounding fall for wearing heart-stopping heels. However, it is not normal to see how the presenter of a television program collapses due to respiratory problems.
This is what happened last week to Elianis Garrido, a 35-year-old presenter from Channel 1. While presenting the Colombian television program ‘I know everything’ with the presenter Ariel Osorio, Garrido began to act nervously, moving away from the camera and falling round.
The video of the fall, as usually happens in these cases, has gone viral on social networks. In it you can see how the actress and model begins to behave strangely on her stool, so she decides to walk away from the cameras with her hands covering her mouth.
A few moments later, Garrido collapses in the middle of the set, completely losing control. His partner, Ariel Osorio, stands up quickly after looking around him, asking the channel for a commercial break to help the presenter.
The video shows how several members of the team come to help Garrido, moving to another area of ??the set to reassure her. In fact, one of those present begins to fan to keep the presenter cool. After being treated, Osorio was in charge of informing viewers that the Colombian had suffered “respiratory problems.”
With a view to reassuring the young woman’s family, Garrido sent a hopeful message to the camera: “Everything is fine, Eli is perfect (…) He is finishing some security protocols and he is fine, don’t worry. She’ll call you soon, and we’ll tell you what’s going on with Eli.”
After several days, the presenter herself has been in charge of publishing a message of support for her 6.2 million followers on social networks. In her Instagram post, she added, “Thank you all for the messages from her.”
