Watch: The moment when part of TV set collapses on journalist

Journalist Carlos Orduz of ESPN Colombia was one of the panelists on the live show when a part of the set fell on his back, throwing him face-first on to the table in front of him.

The camera, which had a wide-angle view, quickly cut away from the shot, and the host, who was visibly shocked, called for a commercial.

After a medical check-up, Orduz took to Twitter and assured his followers that he only suffered a bruise and a blow to the nose.

A quienes me escribieron y me saludaron por el accidente de anoche, debo contarles que estoy bien, gracias a Dios después del chequeo médico, de los exámenes respectivos, se descartó cualquier tema, solo una magulladura y un golpe en la nariz (sin fractura). Saludos y gracias 👍
