Studio 10 was close broadcasting one of TV’s biggest live disasters this morning, when host Sarah Harris came close to shooting herself in the face with a nail gun.

SARAH Harris nailed it, just not in a good way.

The popular Studio 10 host proved you don’t learn handywoman skills at journalism school when she nearly accidentally shot herself with a nailgun during a mind-reading stunt this morning.

An anxious Ms Harris was saved when co-host Jessica Rowe cried out and steered the powerful tool away from her co-host’s face.

She joked on Twitter afterwards: “If (you) had to listen to Joe Hildebrand’s jokes everyday, WOULDN’T YOU TRY TO SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE FACE?

“Kidding. Love him.”

The Studio 10 co-host followed up with a tweet afterwards, explaining that the gun wasn’t actually loaded.
