Cassie Slane, QVC Host Faints Live On Television (WATCH VIDEO)
QVC host Dan Hughes proved that no matter what happens on live television, the show must go on.
Hughes and his guest host, Cassie Slane, were on QVC hawking a kid-friendly Android tablet on Sunday, Oct. 7 until the mother-of-three began to pat her chest and experience difficulty breathing.
Suddenly, Slane slumped over into Hughes' arms, and thanks to some quick thinking, a QVC editor cut to a full-screen shot of the product they were selling.
According to some reports, what was more shocking than Slane fainting, which is shown in the Youtube video at the :48 second mark, was the fact that Hughes continued talking about the product. Hughes remained the consummate professional and made no mention of Slane's unexpected health-related issue.
On Monday, Oct. 8, Slane posted on her Facebook page, "Thanks everyone for your kind words. I am feeling a lot better today!"
Neither Slane or Hughes released a statement as to what happened.
When a fan posted an inquiry on QVC's Facebook page, QVC replied, "Our on-air guest Cassie had a brief fainting spell. We are pleased to report that she is feeling fine now."
Fellow QVC host Carolyn Gracie also addressed concerns from a QVC fan by making a statement on her Facebook page.
"She had a couple of fainting spells due to low blood sugar," wrote Gracie. "Poor thing. She is such a nice girl."
