TV presenter pulled off air after receiving heartbreaking news
A TV presenter reporting at the World Cup has been forced off air after receiving horrific news that her mother was killed.
Nadia Nadim is currently in Qatar working for UK broadcaster ITV, covering the World Cup.
The 34-year-old was part of a panel discussing Denmark’s game with Tunisia on November 22 when she suddenly had to leave the studio.
In a statement, Nadia revealed that her mother was on her way from the gym when she was hit by a truck.
“Words cannot describe what I’m feeling,” her statement read.
“I have lost the most important person in my life, and it happened so sudden and unexpected. She was only 57.
“She was a warrior who had fought for every inch of her life. She didn’t give me life once, but twice, and everything I/ we are is because of her.
“I have lost my home and I know nothing is gonna ever feel the same. Life is unfair and I don’t understand why her and why this way. I love you and I will see you again.
“Her funeral is (going to) be soon... please come and show her the love, respect and prayers she deserves.”
It remains unclear where her mother was killed.
