Luckily she wasn't hurt - it was just a bit embarrassing.

But it shows cringe-making moments can happen to anyone.

"A couple of days ago I had a drama assessment and I had to be a really goofy character like a TV presenter. I did my act and my teacher asked the class who was the best, all the students said I was. I got a full level higher then the rest of my team! I went bright red because everyone wouldn't stop laughing about how stupid I acted whilst performing."
