That’s what moms are for! Vanna White‘s son, Nikko, shared a video of the Wheel of Fortune letter-turner using a needle to pop a pimple on his back.
Nikko, whom White shares with her ex-husband, George Santo Pietro, posted a video to his Instagram on May 28. “I hate needles, and this is my mom popping something on my back,” he said.
The video then moved to Pietro sitting at a table with his shirt half up his chest. He dipped a cloth in rubbing alcohol and handed it to White. “I just put alcohol on it,” she said.
“Well, do it again,” her son replied.
“It’s sterilized. See?” White said, holding up the cloth to the camera. Pietro laughed nervously as he leaned over the table.
“You need a flashlight or something?” he wondered.
“He’s acting like he’s seven years old right now,” White said. She then leaned down, with her glasses and cold hands, close to his back. White poked at whatever was on her son’s back with a needle.
“Oh, you got it,” he said. White didn’t think she got it, but she did.
Pietro yelped and then started to laugh as he said she poked it four times. White poke it one more time and he said, “Ow!” and cursed.
She then put more rubbing alcohol on it, which made Pietro jump in his seat. He ended the video by being folded over and laughing.
Many fans complained that they didn’t actually film whatever was on his back being popped. “You had one job – to film the actual popping – you failed!” a follower said.
“We wanted to see the pop,” another wrote.
“Next time, please just record the actual pop,” a third added.
“That seems to be the common demand, lol,” Pietro said.
Another fan asked what did she pop. Pietro replied, ” I am not sure, but it has a white head.”
“Vanna! A woman of many talents!” a fan said.
Many others said that they love the relationship the two of them have, while others “laughed so hard” at it.
