Dutch Reporter Falls Off Boat During Interview

A Dutch reporter was interviewing the mayor of Kampen on a boat when she leaned a little too far over and fell in the water.  The reporter was able to tread water and the mayor tried to assist her with his golden mayoral necklace until someone tossed her a life saver. The viral blooper seems too perfect and too funny to be true,

Questions over its authenticity were first raised.  It has since emerged that the 'reporter', Martje Oesterholt, was not actually a reporter at all but rather a marketing consultant working for a local sailing company.
