TV presenter (“Housing Issue” on NTV) Natalya Maltseva: The stomach is not a hindrance to the air! Natalya Maltseva: “I had cancer. It’s as if you’re in life, but you’re no longer in it... I’m running from fears to work

TOXICOSIS IN JAPANESE

- When a woman realizes that she is expecting a child, she either grabs her head or jumps with happiness. What were you doing?

I was delighted! I didn’t prepare specifically for pregnancy. But there was a great desire to become a mother, and there was some kind of internal readiness.

- Were you drawn to anything special among foods?

At first I wanted fish. And raw. In general, it is not recommended to press the fish at this time. But I couldn’t help myself - I went to the sushi bar as if I were going to work.

- At work, you were probably quickly “seen through” with such strange predilections?

Until the fifth month they suspected nothing. But then suddenly everything was revealed. On the set of the March 8 program, I wore a blouse that, it seemed to me, hid everything perfectly. But it was after this shooting that everyone began to congratulate me. And not only colleagues, but also TV viewers.

- When did you stop working?

As they say, I couldn’t stop in time. She worked until the end. You know, pregnant women experience a slight panic: it seems like you won’t have time to do anything, and you grab onto everything. Now I understand: I spent 80 percent of my energy on unnecessary fuss.

DON'T INTERFERE WITH ME GIVING BIRTH!

- Which hospital did you see?

At the Center for Obstetrics and Gynecology on Oparina. I didn't have any particular problems. I took vitamins and some immune medications.

- Where did you give birth?

In a private clinic in the north of Moscow.

- Did you take dad with you?

No. You know, I don’t really understand this practice. Besides, I don’t like it when people interfere with me in difficult moments. That’s why I felt comfortable because even the doctor and midwife came to my box only when necessary.

- Did you use anesthesia?

No, they only gave me maintenance drips. I prefer to be patient.

- How long did you have to endure?

From about 11 am. And at 11 pm Misha already appeared. True, they didn’t give it to me right away, but then we never parted. I immediately chose a maternity hospital where mother and child are in the same room.

RUNNING FROM FEARS TO WORK

- When did you go to work?

I started going to filming when Misha was two months old. I continued to feed. We had to send milk with our drivers. They helped me a lot, although they joked that they worked as “cheerful milkmen.”

- Did the fear for the baby go away after giving birth?

No, the fear doesn't go away. This is a manic state, you know. To be honest, I still have nightmares.

- How do you deal with fears?

They are stuck somewhere in my subcortex, you can’t just pull them out. I try to distract myself from bad thoughts. Work helps a lot. I always try to stay busy and plan my day strictly. So that there is no time left for bad thoughts.

How TV stars give birth

Previously, on television it was strict with pregnant women: as soon as the belly hatches, get off the air! The first presenter in Russia who was not removed from the camera because of her belly was Tina Kandelaki. Viewers saw her belly until the 9th month - then still in the “Vremechko” program. Tina gave birth to a daughter - and a week later (!) she was on air again. Less than a year later she gave birth again. Already a boy. And, mind you, her figure remained perfect.

A colleague on NTV, host of “The Domino Principle” Elena Hanga, gave birth to a daughter in New York under epidural anesthesia (this is when, after an injection, the lower half of the body, from the stomach to the legs, does not feel anything). In America, this method is widely used - it is quite safe for both mother and child. So during contractions Elena felt great. And she even managed to talk on the phone. And of course they called because of work...

What were you afraid of during pregnancy? How did you deal with phobias? Did you manage to defeat them?

Personal life of Natalya Maltseva / Natalya_Maltseva

The presenter is married, her wife's name is Boris. In 2003, a son was born into the family Michael. During pregnancy, Natalya Maltseva did not stop working: until the fifth month she hid her situation from her colleagues, and even later, in her own words, “she could not stop in time and worked until the last.” After giving birth, Natalya returned to the air within two months.

Leading the project " Housing problem» Natalya Maltseva released her own show on the NTV channel. The day before, the “Maltseva” program was aired, in which the NTV star will give advice not only about repairs.

“The new show is about lifestyle in general, which helps to seriously expand the range of topics. In addition to interior design and decor, in the program we touch on psychological topics, raise issues of personal space, and explain how to behave in and outside the home to make you and those around you feel comfortable. We also teach how to properly organize living space and use storage systems, test gadgets that help make your home better, and share unique recipes,” announced Natalya.

Many viewers were tormented by the question of why Maltseva disappeared from the screens. For almost four years she did not host any programs. As Natalya says, she herself left the “Housing Issue” because she became seriously ill. She was diagnosed with cancer.

“I lived in Israel for two years, was treated there, and recovered. And I tried to understand in general: who am I, where am I? What do I really want? It was quite a difficult, but at the same time very fruitful period for me. I don’t want to remember that time again. But I am very grateful to my illness, because it taught me a lot. I also had cancer. And of course, this changes absolutely everything. You find yourself in a completely different dimension, as if you are behind glass. It’s as if you’re in life, but you’re no longer in it. This makes you look at everything that happens differently. Everything becomes very convex. And the events themselves that begin to happen reveal many things that you simply did not notice before,” Maltseva shared.

According to Natalya, her husband supported her very much in this difficult situation. “He didn’t just come to the rescue, he pulled me out. I am very grateful to him. There are not enough words to describe all this,” said Maltseva.

The presenter takes the position that such tests are given for a reason. She is grateful for the lesson, because it was followed by a happy stage in her life.

"I have new project, I have friends around me, my great team. I live in some other reality compared to the one I had. And this is very, very good, very happy reality. And even new program- this is not just some show about a house. Television is a powerful tool. We are now fighting to ensure that there is as much positivity on the air as possible. So that the person who turned on NTV would not want to leave, so that he would be pleased,” Maltseva shared with "Komsomolskaya Pravda".

In the program, she daily shares with viewers news and unusual ideas in the field of interior design and living space organization, tests gadgets and tries new recipes.

Projects

  • 1992 – “Theme”
  • 1992 – “Hour of the Day”
  • 1990-2000 – “Hero of the Day”
  • 2001-2014 – “Housing Question”

  • 2018 – “Maltseva”

The host of “Housing Question” Natalya Maltseva told the site about interesting stories behind the scenes of a TV project.

We learned from the host of “Housing Question” Natalya Maltseva how to become the hero of the show, how much money the creators of the TV show spend on renovations and which of the stars was dissatisfied with the TV design.

“The prima donna fed us and gave us something to drink”

To become the hero of the “Housing Issue”, you need to go through a casting.

. – We have certain criteria. We are looking for heroes that the viewer would like to look at and empathize with: bright and kind faces. When people have already passed the casting, we sign an agreement with them that we cannot redo the interior if they don’t like our idea. We have a strict budget that we must stick to. On average, repairs cost 1 million rubles. During the season, “Housing Question” remodels a small apartment building - about 80–90 interiors. The rework takes 1–2 months, which we warn our heroes about. Also, they should not come home until we implement the project. Otherwise, they will simply ruin the surprise for themselves. Therefore, participants either live with relatives at this time or rent housing.

"Housing Question" makes repairs not only ordinary people, but also among the stars.

“For example, Alla Pugacheva herself contacted us, and we, of course, responded with joy,” continues the TV star. “And they made her an incredible office at Radio Alla.” She was very easy to work with. She knew what we needed, how to behave on camera and what to say. After all, we spend a lot of effort on making people feel relaxed in front of the cameras. Alla Borisovna has incredible magnetism, charisma and attractiveness. She is a very hospitable person, she fed us and gave us something to drink. And despite the fact that she is a star, she communicated with us like a human being. Moreover, it even helped me. I had an unpleasant situation at work. And I addressed her as to a wise man and asked what to do. Pugacheva gave seemingly very banal advice: “I wouldn’t do anything.” You know, after that I somehow calmed down and let the situation go. Indeed, everything worked out for me.

“Muravyova is scared to be in the kitchen”

There are also cases when program participants do not like the repairs.

– We are largely experimenting with the space of heroes. We want to, as they say, cheer them up,” Natalya shares with us. – Sometimes people are not ready for radical changes. Actress Irina Muravyova did not like the interior. Since she is very temperamental and emotional person, then expressed everything on the air. And I think this is correct. You know, we ask our participants to tell the truth and not hide what bothers them.

Muravyova was really upset by the new interior to tears.

“It’s scary to be here,” the actress was indignant. “Is it possible for people in their old age to change their situation like that?” Maybe one day I’ll come home and start crying, longing for my old kitchen.

According to Maltseva, in the history of the “Housing Question” there were such radical changes when a person’s life changed 180 degrees after participating in a TV show:

“For some, we have become the starting point for change. The life of one of our heroines changed dramatically after we made her bedroom. She is a single woman, worked as a teacher, loved to travel and could not fulfill her dream. A designer from London made her a fashionable and feminine bedroom. Our heroine was so shocked by the room that she changed her teaching job and opened tourist agency. A year and a half later we saw a completely different person. Often, most people get used to stereotypes. We are making a kind of revolution in our homes. Our task is to change thinking.

– We love to travel with the whole family. In winter we go skiing, and in summer we spend in our house in Finland. My husband and son fish, and I tend to the area. I believe that the main thing in life is not to be afraid of changes, because they are the key to happiness.
