ITV News presenter Rageh Omaar is receiving medical care after he became unwell live on-air, the TV channel says.
The ITV News International Affairs Editor, 56, a veteran in the news industry, was delivering the 10pm news programme on Friday when he began stumbling over his words. Eagle-eyed viewers even noticed that he appeared to be struggling to read the news bulletins – sparking concern online. ITV then pulled the show from its scheduled re-run on ITV+1, telling viewers that the channel was "temporarily unable to bring you our +1 service".
Although it is still unclear what exactly happened, ITV News have confirmed that Rageh is 'now receiving medical care' and he is grateful for all the 'well wishes'. Afterwards, an ITV News spokesperson said: "We are aware that viewers are concerned about Rageh Omaar's wellbeing. "Rageh became unwell while presenting News at Ten on Friday and is now receiving medical care.
"He thanks everyone for their well wishes." ITV+1 also pulled the programme from its re-runs, as a message on screen read: "We'll be back soon. We're temporarily unable to bring you our +1 service. We will resume shortly." It was just minutes into the show when viewers watching at home first noticed how the anchor appeared shaky on screen when discussing a segment on weekend life.
It prompted worry amongst fans. Viewers were quick to raise their concerns on social media with one user saying: "I actually can't believe ITV let Rageh Omaar do the whole 30 minute show. If he's ill they have a duty of care to him, if he was under the influence they have a responsibility to the viewers.
