TalkTV was forced to axe its Tory leadership debate after one of its stars fainted live on-air, it has been confirmed.
The broadcaster, owned by News UK, has issued an official statement after a loud crash was heard in the studio, with Conservative candidate Liz Truss seen with her hands over her face to conceal a shocked expression.
Truss could then be heard yelling: "Oh my God!" before the broadcast was unceremoniously yanked off the airwaves.
