FifthKolodzej was presenting the program “Missão 100% Português” alongside João Paulo Rodriguez on RTP1 and used her Instagram account to remember the first time she was in the role of presenter, remembering that Pedro Granger did not show up on the rehearsal day and when she got on stage and improvised, which made her Uncomfortable.
“The first time I was invited to present was a small presentation at a TVI gala alongside Pedro Granger. I was very nervous, and this was the first time I went on stage without masks, and I only trusted my presence and personal charisma, which I did not believe in at all. I went to practice the day before to practice each move (Moreover, I would have to wear high heels and a fancy dress, which I also didn’t feel comfortable in) and to understand how to read the teleprompter,” the actress began by saying.
“Pedro did not show up at the rehearsal and on the day of the live show he improvised a little because he was already comfortable with the situation. I was angry. He clearly didn’t do anything wrong, he just did his best at something he did really well, but, in my insecurities, I wanted to hold someone accountable for my lack of competence. Meanwhile, I have already taken responsibility and forgiven my “eternal imaginary friend,” revealing that it took many years and “a lot of therapy” to be comfortable as a presenter, and thanked him for the opportunity to be a presenter.

Pedro Granger responded to the post and paid tribute to his colleague and friend. The actor wrote: “What a beautiful friend and presenter, Sally. Sparkle McQueen is so proud of you!”
