During a news segment in a shopping mall, a girl with Down syndrome hijacked the report, stealing the show with her massive smile and happy attitude.
Aussie reporter Scott Van Der Linder was wrapping up filming Street Talk, when his colleague started to giggle.
“I think it was Stacie filming this one on Tuesday, and as I was wrapping up she started giggling and I knew someone was behind me… just didn't know who until I turned around,” says Scott. “Thanks to Stacie for keeping the camera rolling, because normally we stop when we get interrupted.”
The person in question was Georgia, a young woman with a taste for fame. Giggling and smiling delightedly she waved at the camera, and when Scott asked her if she’d like to say hello to the camera, thrilled she said, “Hi mum, hi dad, love ya!”
“I think I've been doing Street Talk for either 9 or 10 years now, around 45 weeks a year, so I reckon we've done around 400 editions. We've had everything from drug addicts grab the camera, been told to ‘go away’, far more colourfully and in school holidays we normally get teenage school kids carrying on in the background.
“A few of the people watching us film came up and commented afterwards how excited Georgia was in the background.
“Thanks for sharing this one around folks, she's a gem. This is the most memorable Street Talk of those 400 or so.”
That gorgeous smile! And the way she makes sure her hair and eyebrow game is on point! Someone give this girl a job behind the camera!
