The host of the project "Housing issue" Natalia Maltseva released an author's 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, explain how to behave in and out of the house so that you and those around you are comfortable. We also teach how to properly organize living space and use storage systems, test gadgets that help make the house better, share unique recipes,” Natalya announced.
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 Problem”, as she became seriously ill. She was diagnosed with cancer.
“I lived in Israel for two years, was treated there, recovered. And I tried to understand in general: who am I, where am I? What do I really want? It was a rather difficult, but at the same time very fruitful period for me. I don't want to reminisce about that time. But I am very grateful for my illness, because it taught me a lot. I also had cancer. And of course, it changes absolutely everything. You find yourself in a completely different dimension, as if you find yourself behind glass. You seem to be in life, but no longer in it. It makes you look at everything that happens differently. Everything becomes very convex. And the events themselves that are starting to happen reveal a lot of things that you just didn’t notice before,” Maltseva shared.
According to Natalia, her husband was very supportive 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 life.
“I have a new project, friends around me, my great team. I live in some other reality compared to the one I had. And this is a very, very good, very happy reality. And even the new program is not just some kind of show about the house. Television is the strongest tool. We are now fighting to ensure that there is as much positive as possible on the air. So that the person who turned on NTV did not want to leave, so that he would be pleased, ”Maltseva shared with "Komsomolskaya Pravda".
TOXICOSIS IN JAPANESE
- When a woman realizes that she is expecting a child, she either grabs her head or jumps for happiness. What did you do?
Rejoiced! I did not prepare specifically for pregnancy. But the desire to become a mother was great, and there was some kind of inner readiness.
- From products to something special "pulled"?
In the beginning, I wanted fish. And raw. In fact, it is not recommended to click on the fish at this time. But I could not help myself - I went to the sushi bar, as if to work.
- At work, with such strange addictions, they probably quickly “saw through” you?
Until the fifth month, nothing was suspected. But then, all of a sudden, everything opened up. On the shooting of the program by March 8, I was in a blouse, which, as it seemed to me, perfectly concealed everything. But it was after this shooting that everyone began to congratulate me. And not only colleagues, but also viewers.
- When did you stop working?
I, as they say, could not stop in time. She worked until the very end. You know, pregnant women have a slight panic: it seems that you don’t have time to do anything, and you grab everything in a row. Now I understand: I spent 80 percent of my energy on unnecessary fuss.
DON'T HESITATE ME TO GIVE PLACE!
What hospital did you see?
At the Center for Obstetrics and Gynecology at Oparina. I didn't have any particular problems. I drank vitamins, some immune preparations.
- Where did you give birth?
In a private clinic in the north of Moscow.
Did you take your dad with you?
No. You know, I don't really understand this practice. In addition, I do not like it when in difficult moments they interfere with me. It was precisely because of this that I felt comfortable that even the doctor and the midwife came to my box only as needed.
- Did you use anesthesia?
No, they only put me on supporting 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 didn’t part. 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 shoots when Misha was two months old. I continued to feed. We had to send milk with our drivers. They helped me a lot, however, they joked that they work as “jolly milkmen”.
- Fear for the baby after childbirth is gone?
No, the fear doesn't go away. Manic is, you know, a state. To be honest, I still have nightmares.
- How do you deal with fears?
They have settled somewhere in my subcortex, you can’t just pull them out. I try to get my mind off bad thoughts. Work helps a lot. I try to always be busy, rigidly plan my day. So that there is no time for bad thoughts.
How TV stars give birth
Previously, it was strict with pregnant women on television: the belly will hatch a little - get out of the air! The first presenter in Russia who was not removed from the camera because of her stomach was Tina Kandelaki. Until the 9th month, the audience saw her belly - then still in the Vremechko program. Tina gave birth to a daughter - and a week later (!) she was on the 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, the host of the Domino Principle, Elena Khanga, gave birth to a daughter in New York under epidural anesthesia (this is when the lower half of the body, from the abdomen to the legs, does not feel anything after the injection). In America, this method is widely used - it is quite safe for both mother and child. So during the fights, Elena felt great. And even managed to talk on the phone. And they called, of course, at work ...
What were you afraid of during pregnancy? How do you deal with phobias? Were they able to defeat them?

The famous TV presenter first spoke about why she left television for four years.
For many years in a row, Natalya Maltseva hosted the program "" on NTV, which she herself came up with. Maltseva also produced the Country Answer project. But in 2014, Natalya disappeared from TV radar. Another presenter appeared in the “Housing Problem”, and the fans could only speculate - where is Natalya? This fall, the TV presenter finally returned to television with her own morning show "Maltseva". In the project that goes to NTV, she talks not only about repair and design, but also about many other things.
"I was rushing at the speed of an asteroid"
- Your new program is running daily - this is a new format for you ...
Yes, it's different here. Over the long years of conducting and producing "Housing Problem" and "Dachny otvet" we have accumulated a lot of topics, materials that did not coincide with the format of these programs. As a result, "Maltseva" was born. We have been recording programs since August, we have already filmed a large pool. And we continue to work.
Did you miss filming?
- You know, I didn’t leave television. Yes, I left the frame, but we still did both “Country Answer” and “Housing Problem”. So no, I'm not bored. But when the question arose of who would host the new program, I relived my old story again. After all, I became the host of the “Housing Problem” not because I really wanted to. I just came up with this program, at some point we began to look for presenters, tried different ones, but everything was not right. And I realized that, probably, it would be better to do it myself than those whom we are watching.
- Why did you suddenly decide to leave your own program in 2014? Tired?
- There are several circumstances. First, yes, I'm tired. And to some extent I missed the moment when I had to come up with something new. And secondly, I was seriously ill. She 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 a rather difficult, but at the same time very fruitful period for me.

Did you want to stay in Israel?
- When you get sick, different thoughts appear. This is a state of crisis. You are out of balance. I've had completely different periods over the years. Sometimes quite difficult for both me and my husband. I don't want to reminisce about that time. But I am very grateful for my illness, because it taught me a lot.
And therefore, it doesn’t even matter what thoughts and ideas we had in the process. All this is irrelevant now. The main thing is that we are here. I returned to my favorite job. And, in general, full of hope.
- Recently a site about how I fought cancer. And she also admitted that that story changed her a lot. She said: “If earlier it seemed to me that I would live forever, then the disease forced me to reconsider my whole life ...”
— Yes, I completely agree with that. I also had cancer. And, of course, it changes absolutely everything. You find yourself in a completely different dimension, as if you find yourself behind glass. You seem to be in life, but no longer in it. It makes you take a different look at everything that happens, at relatives, at friends. Everything becomes very convex. And the events themselves that begin to take place reveal so many things that you simply did not notice before. You were moving at the speed of an asteroid. He threw aside some small signs, problems, sensations. And then you start paying attention to it all.
... and now she has her own morning show "Maltsev". It goes on weekdays on NTV. photo: instagram.com/maltseva.tv Who came to your aid at that moment?
- Husband. He not only came to the rescue, but somehow pulled me out. I am very grateful to him ... I do not have enough words to describe all this. You can't really express it in words.
- A sad conversation turned out ...
- In fact, all this is very positive. Such tests are not given just like that. They are given to make you aware of something. And if you understand this, completely different doors open before you. Other sensations appear, and other circumstances come into life. So when I say I'm grateful, I really am. Because now I am absolutely happy. I have a new project, friends around me, my great team. I meet new people who turn out to be completely unreal and amazing. Do you understand? In general, I live in some other reality compared to the one I had. And this is a very, very good, very happy reality.
"Everyone can be dealt with"
— You have a wealth of experience in running a design program. Do you often redo things at home?
— No, I wouldn't say. I am now making a new apartment, and all ideas and desires are realized in it. I have an alliance with my friend, designer Victoria Kruchinina. She is responsible for the design, and I convey some of my feelings.
- So, moving soon?
“We have been in this renovation for a year and a half, so I don’t even plan to move yet, because I don’t know when it will end.
- Why so long?
Yes, because we are not in a hurry. At the same time, some new projects arise all the time, something happens to me and my husband. Now the transfer takes all the time.
- Do your husband and son support you in connection with the new project?
Yes, they are very supportive. Husband helps a lot. He played an important role in our production center.
“He has a furniture business, doesn’t he?”
- Yes, that is right. But precisely because he has a business, he helps us in our work.
— Your son Mikhail wanted to become a chef. Is this still relevant or does the teenager already have new hobbies?
- He is now 15 years old, and in principle, he broadcast for a long time that he wants to be a chef, a restaurateur. But now he has a rather controversial period. What will happen, we do not know. Let's not guess yet.
- How, by the way, is adolescence experienced? Difficult?
- Yes, good! The main thing here is to talk, communicate, not to lose contact. I think we can agree on everything. And with a child too!
