Conservative Leadership debate taken off air after presenter faints

A live TV debate between Rish Sunak and Liz Tuss has been dramatically halted after a crash in the studio, caused by host Kate McCann fainting.

The debate, being hosted by TalkTV, was taken off air after a loud crash was heard, with Lizz Truss exclaiming: "Oh my god!".

The Tory leadership debate on TalkTV was stopped due to the presenter fainting, and it will not be resumed.

The broadcaster said in a statement: "Kate McCann fainted on air tonight and although she is fine, the medical advice was that we shouldn't continue with the debate.

TalkTV has apologised to viewers.
