A debate between the candidates to take over as UK prime minister and replace the resigning Boris Johnson was abruptly suspended after the moderator fainted during the live broadcast.
Last Tuesday, the Conservative candidates Liz Truss y Rishi Sunak were invited to present their proposals during a space organized by the British channel TalkTV and the presenter Kate McCann was summoned to drive it, says The nation.
In the middle of the meeting, questions were opened to the public and a cancer patient commented that she had not received adequate support from the National system of health (NHS), so he asked what solution the applicants would plant.
But when Truss was responding to that query, the presenter McCann collapsed in the studio. Although the cameras did not point to the driver, they did reveal the candidate’s surprised reaction.
“Although she is fine, the medical advice was that we should not continue the debate.”reported TalkTV, the host channel of the meeting together with the newspaper The Sun. “We apologize to our viewers and listeners”he added.
The viewers could only hear the strong impact of the body of McCann on the floor. Truss he reacted by bringing his hands to his face and saying “OMG!”. She then got down from her podium and went to the driver, but at that moment the transmission was cut off.
Through social networks, both candidates expressed their relief to know that the presenter is fine.
“Relieved to know @KateEMcCann is okay. I’m so sorry that such a good debate had to end.”wrote Truss a Twitter.
“It was a great debate and I look forward to being questioned by you again soon!”Sunak tweeted.
