In the awkward clip that's now going viral,Mason veered off topic, declaring: “The price of coffee over here is actually fine… it’s actually the price of coffee in the US we have to get used to… I’m not sure about the iguanas?”
A confused Mason then added: "Where are we going with that one? Anyway, let’s get into today’s sport because there’s plenty happening back home."
As if the slurring and stammering weren't cringe-worthy enough, the presenter suddenly rolled around in the snow like a giddy child, creating snow angels for the cameras — leaving co-hosts and viewers alike gobsmacked.
Back in the Sydney studio, host Karl Stefanovic rushed to her defence, blaming the freezing conditions.
“You get out of a car over there (in Italy) and there is such a cold wind, you can’t actually move your lips,” Stefanovic claimed. Mason could be seen giggling at Stefanovic’s quip before the camera mercifully cut away.
Social media users weren't buying the 'cold lips’ excuse, flooding platforms with savage mockery, with many bluntly suggesting the reporter was drunk on air.
