'Kodak moment!' Theresa May holds straight face during Donald Trump 'p***y grab' question
SOCIAL media users branded Theresa May’s face a “Kodak moment” after she was read an uncensored Donald Trump quote about groping women during a live TV broadcast.
May: Trump's comment on women are 'unacceptable'
Mr Trump’s election campaign was plunged into crisis after a 2005 recording surfaced of him bragging to TV host Billy Brush about groping women and that he can “grab them by the p***y” because of his celebrity status.
The Prime Minister was confronted with the quote in full by Sky News’ Sophy Ridge, who said she felt “slightly awkward reading it out”.
But, unfazed during her first interview of 2017, the Tory leader did not bat an eyelid as she was asked how the lewd comments made her feel.
"I think that's unacceptable, but in fact Donald Trump himself has said that and has apologised for it,” Mrs May said.

She continued: "But the relationship that the UK has with the United States is about something much bigger than just the relationship between the two individuals as president and prime minister.
"That's important, but actually we have a long-standing special relationship with the United States.
"It's based on shared values and it is a relationship where, actually in the UK, we feel we can say to the US if we disagree with something that they are doing."

Mrs May’s unchanged expression has since become the talking point online, more so than the brazenly blunt question itself asked on the first Sophy Ridge on Sunday show.
One social media user wrote: “If Sophy Ridge forcing Theresa May to listen to Trump's p***y comment in full is a sign of things to come, I'm in. May's face was a picture.”
Another said: “How did @theresa_may keep a straight face when @SophyRidgeSky quote the ‘grab her by the p***y’ line?”
While another added: “Theresa May’s face on Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday Trump ‘p***y’ question didn’t bat an eye! LOL”
