In showbiz, they say you should never work with children or animals, but they might want to add drones to that list.
Or at least that’s the lesson we’ve learned after watching a video of a TV host kicking a drone into the face of a nearby model.
The painful incident happened earlier this week during an episode of the Mexican variety programme, the Es Show.
In the clip, host Ernesto Chavana, 58, could be seen excitedly talking to the studio audience before he booted a low-flying drone across the studio.
Unfortunately, the drone then flew across the studio, propellers still spinning, and hit cast member Isabella Rojas in the face.
