The Teen Idol Fail

I was hosting Teen Idol in a winter landscape. I was trying hard to be funny, because I hadn't prepared anything. First numbers went fine, audience liked the show and the children were performing nicely. But then suddenly a girl comes up and kisses me on the mouth and then runs off, with her boyfriend running after her. I get confused, but try to carry on the show. It gets harder, because some of the teens try to pull me to the side and talk with me in the middle of the show. We are performing in the front garden at Spårsnögatan 7. The audience are getting nervous and restless. I'm using an iPhone as a microphone and suddenly some guy called Alexander calls me on that phone, while I'm trying to present the next number. He won't hang up and explains that he is the boyfriend of the girl that kissed me. He asked me, crying, why I let her kiss me. I get really annoyed, hang up and try to continue the show, seeing that a lot of the audience are getting up to leave. Some boy comes up on stage, slaps one of the teen idol girls in the face, then runs away. They're both super redheads and she has a long braid. She seems shocked, but not sad. Alexander calls again. I let him know that firstly it was a tiny kiss, and secondly I'm still shook up after losing my three year long relationship and really appreciate any tiny bit of intimacy I can get. Most of the audience have now gotten up to leave.
