After a loud crash was heard in the studios during her leadership debate with Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss exclaimed, “Oh my God!” TalkTV announced that the debate would not be continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Kate McCann fainted on air tonight and although she is fine, the medical advice was that we should not continue with the debate. We apologise to our viewers and listeners,” a statement on Twitter said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before the lights went out, Ms Truss was seen holding her hands to her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She then took a step away from her podium and towards Ms McCann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The show was immediately taken off the air, with a message on the screen saying, “We apologise for the disruption to this programme. We are working hard to fix the issue and will return to normal programming soon.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms McCann was supposed to appear with The Sun’s political editor, Harry Cole, but he tested positive for Covid-19 earlier today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Covid finally got me for the first time with spectacularly bad timing,” Mr Cole said earlier today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Good news that you’re already recovering Kate McCann, it was a great debate and I look forward to getting grilled by you again shortly,” Rishi Sunak wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Relieved to hear Kate McCann is fine. Really sorry that such a good debate had to come to an end. Look forward to catching up with Kate and the rest of The Sun and TalkTV team again soon,” Liz Truss added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I think we can all agree that she was doing a bloody brilliant job hosting the Tory leaders’ debate on TalkTV,” said TalkTV host Julia Hartley-Brewer. “We learned more about Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss policies in those 20 minutes than in the BBC’s full hour!”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
