Moira Stuart sparks concern after collapsing at Angela Rippon's birthday party

Former BBC newsreader Moira Stuart is said to be feeling better now after collapsing at friend Angela Rippon’s birthday party.

The veteran broadcaster, who was the first African-Caribbean woman to read the news on British television, reportedly needed to be helped by her colleagues including Louise Minchin and Michael Buerk after she “took a funny turn” while standing at the bar among other party guests.A source told The Sun that the room was cleared for Stuart after hotel staff called an ambulance to check over the newsreader, who insisted she was fine.
