ITV News at Ten viewers were left concerned for the presenter after he began to struggle with his words during an item on weekend leisure time near the end of the programme on Friday.
ITV news bosses tried to get its presenter Rageh Omaar to hand over his bulletin to a stand-in anchor after he became unwell live on air, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
An ITV News source told The Mail on Sunday: 'The programme team were trying to replace him when they realised there was a problem. One friend of the newsreader suggested he didn't feel 'unwell' while he was stumbling over his words. Both ITV and Mr Omaar's family were reluctant to give any details of the cause of his on-screen ailment but experts have said the presenter exhibited signs of a mini-stroke, called a transient ischaemic attack .
The Fast acronym – which stands for face, arms, speech and time – is a test to quickly identify if someone is having a stroke. But viewers accused ITV News of failing in its duty of care to Mr Omaar – despite not knowing what was happening in the studio. Father-of-three Mr Omaar, who studied modern history at Oxford, made his name in his role as a foreign correspondent for the BBC during the invasion of Iraq and the fall of Baghdad in 2003.
