An Australian presenter has apologised after going viral for her slurred speech during a Winter Olympics report.
Channel Nine journalist Danika Mason stumbled over her words during a broadcast on Wednesday (18 February), discussing iguanas and the price of coffee during a sports update.
The next morning, Mason apologised for her previous segment and said she takes “full responsibility.”
“I shouldn’t have had a drink, and especially in these conditions, it’s cold, we’ve got altitude, and not having had dinner probably didn’t help as well.
“It’s not the standard that I set for myself… I’m really sorry.”
Prime minister Anthony Albanese defended Mason, telling Nova Melbourne: “Good on her, she’s over in Italy and she would have been tired.”
