Reporter's news broadcast goes horribly wrong in viral clip
A news reporter's on-air blunder had most people laughing -- but she was fired for the mistake.
Natasha Exelby, who recently returned from a foreign correspondent and anchor role with Turkish broadcaster TRT World and was working for ABC24, was fired from her newsreading duties on Monday.
In the clip, the former "Wake Up!" co-host looks shocked to find cameras have turned on her.
