A 7News reporter has shed light on a disgusting moment that was caught on camera during a broadcast.
Kate Massey, a journalist who moved from Perth to Melbourne, posted a ‘bloopers’ clip on her TikTok. The video shows her standing outside the Western Australia Police Force headquarters.
In the video, as Kate was getting beauty touch-ups before a broadcast, her cameraman helped manage her hair by licking his finger and smoothing it back into place.
Kate was visibly disgusted by the move as she awkwardly looked away and down her nose.
‘It stayed there!’ the assistant said in response to her facial expressions, which prompted a giggle from the presenter.
‘You don’t get that service from Luke,’ she said, hinting at another staff member.
In a hilarious quip, the cameraman joked: ‘It’s my natural hairspray!’
‘Nightmare fuel,’ the post was captioned.
The ‘gross’ moment has since amassed 135,700 views.
Watchers of the clip flooded the comments section, laughing at the journalist’s reaction while dubbing the self-made assistant a ‘dad’.
‘Dads never stop being dads,’ one person wrote with another chiming in: ‘Second dad energy. Best type to work with.’
‘I just KNOW you hated this HAHAHA,’ one person wrote.
‘Nah this would cause me to go into a MELTDOWN,’ another levelled.
One person added: ‘The facial reaction BAHAHA.’
‘Aye he got it done in a matter of seconds which is why he’s been hired haha,’ a fan pointed out.
Kate has spent four years as a reporter and producer at Channel Seven, following her previous role as a casual radio producer at Nine’s 6PR talkback radio station.
In 2024, she was featured in Seven’s AFL grand final broadcast alongside Kate McCarthy and Katie Brown.
She is also part of Seven’s AFL match-day reporting team this year.
