This is the TV gold moment Argentina’s equivalent of Oprah Winfrey is left reeling by a pint-sized dog when it does a number two on her blouse.
Legendary TV presenter Susana Gimenez was recently named as the biggest celebrity in Argentinian television after a successful career as a host, businessman, actress and model.
But her interviews of Justin Bieber, Diego Maradona and Michael Buble’s wife Luisana Lopilato will now be remembered alongside the moment a Russian Toy dog decided to defecate on her top.
Susana, 73, had just thanked Man City striker Sergio Aguero’s pop star girlfriend Karina Tejeda for a live studio performance when the hilarious blooper happened.
The dog-loving presenter was handed the pooch as she interrupted her interviews to present an advert for dog food during a publicity section.
She complained of a smell as she tried to put space between the animal and her face after being shown the present it had left in its dog basket before exclaiming: ‘It’s got it there too’ as she handed it back to an aide and pointed towards its bottom.
Seconds later she looked down at the inside of her top and shouted: ‘Aaarghh, that’s why’ as she realised the basket wasn’t the only place where it had left a small turd.
Another assistant rushed over with a tissue as plastic surgery enthusiast Susana, who suffered a wardrobe malfunction in a revealing top as she interviewed Argentinian tennis star Juan Martin del Potro last year, complained her hands were stained as well and yelled out: ‘Bring alcohol. I never imagined this.’
She joked as another aide appeared on the scene: ‘I noticed the smell but I thought it was yours.’

TV cameras appeared to show a large brown stain on Susana’s dress, although there was a whiff of the theatrical about her performance along with whatever other smell might have been wafting across the studio
Argentinian newspapers had a field day with the incident, with one writing: ‘A dog s**t on Susana Gimenez while she was hosting her show and made her shout non-stop.’
An appropriately-named fan called Puppi Castello tried to reassure the famous TV host by taking to social media to write: ‘Susana, that’s going to bring you good luck.
Sensing a nasty whiff, the presenter gave the dog to her assistant to find a brown stain on her floral top
Ms Gimenez struggled to hold it together as she responded to the surprise delivery on live TV
‘A pigeon poo-pooed on me and I won the lottery.
‘And when another bird s**t on my daughter, she found a huge gold medal. I’m sending you a kiss. Thank God the smell didn’t reach us while we were watching you on television.’
Ms Gimenez’s assistants were quick to run to her aide with tissues and help clean up the mess
