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.
'They sent the standby presenter to the set to take over but he insisted on remaining on air. No-one could get him out of his chair. He refused to move. Even when he was told he had to go and that the team had called for medical help. Everyone did everything they could to help him. Rageh is a consummate professional.
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 .
In a statement Mr Omaar thanked the show's viewers, saying: 'I would like to thank everyone for their kindness and good wishes, especially all the medical staff, all my wonderful colleagues at ITV News, and our viewers who expressed concern.
