A Romanian TV station has been fined after the presenter on a live phone in quiz show threw a tantrum when no viewers called in.
Presenter Adela Lupse started screaming at the camera, smashed the phone on the ground and then jumped up and down on it, reports Ananova.com.
At the same time she screamed repeatedly at the camera: "I want the phone to ring now. Now. Call me now!"
Angry TV bosses fired her after the outburst on TV station National TV.
Ms Lupse, who has been the show's presenter for three years, said: "Maybe I was a bit over the top but I wanted to get people to call - there is a lot of pressure to get people to call in with the correct answer. It was a bad day."

Romanian TV watchdog, the National Audiovisual Council of Romania, failed to see the funny side and fined the station for "unjustified violence".
