Peter Hitchener was reading the news for Melbourne, Australia’s 9 News when he had a coughing fit.
When he lost the ability to speak for a moment, weather presenter Livinia Nixon took over.
“I was not expecting that when I turned up to work today,” Nixon told the Herald Sun. “I’ve always got Hitchy’s back covered, we like to look after each other so I was happy to step in and help him out until he could get his throat working again and carry on with a seamless rest of the bulletin.”
