"I can't move". Snake almost strangled Australian TV star on live TV: terrifying moment caught on video

Australian comedian and TV presenter Rowan McManus was almost strangled by a snake on the live broadcast of The Project news talk show. The episode included a live interview with a "survival" segment, the so-called local version of the British I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!

McManus was playing the role of the person being interviewed at the time, and as the snake, named Geraldine, tightened its grip on his neck, the TV presenter tried to continue the show. According to Metro, his colleague Michael Ging noticed that things were not looking good, and he responded: "My safe word is stronger. Is that a problem?"

Later, when the snake began to descend lower down his body, McManus said: "Seriously, I can't move now." By then, the TV presenter was red in the face and hinted that he was running out of oxygen to breathe: "Everyone else sees the stars correctly."

Among the others present in the studio was journalist Georgie Tanney, who also agreed to keep her colleague with a snake around her neck company. However, the snake was much smaller than Geraldine's, and the woman kept her reptile at a distance from her.

In the comments on Instagram, society "exploded" with shock. "Oh my God, did no one think to help him?", "I'm not comfortable watching this", "I've never seen Row's face so red", "Horrible", "If only it [the snake] had done its job", "This is not funny at all. I wish they hadn't filmed it!" people wrote.
