Kate McCann says she is "fine now" after fainting while hosting a debate between Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. The TalkTV showdown between the two Tory leadership contenders was brought to a dramatic halt last night (July 26) when Ms McCann fainted off-camera.
It happened while Ms Truss was speaking. The Foreign Secretary's shocked look and a loud crash were the signal that something had gone wrong.
"Well that wasn't how last night was supposed to end," Ms McCann, TalkTV's political editor, said on Twitter. "Thanks everyone for the lovely messages – I'm fine now – and apologies to @trussliz and @RishiSunak for cutting the debate short."
