RTÉ broadcaster Maura Derrane trips and breaks wrist before going on-air

Maura said she tripped in the “simplest” of falls, after “sliding”.

The broadcaster continued into work and presented her programme with the injury.

“I ran into work, put an ice-pack on it, took a few painkillers and did the show,” she said.

The Today Show host said that such accidents are very “easy” things to occur.

“I didn’t think I had broken it, maybe bruised it,” she added.

“A lovely start to the summer.”
