TIL that contrary to appearances, the reason ITV news presenter Rageh Omaar continued his broadcast despite becoming visibly unwell and struggling instead of handing over to another presenter who was on standby while one of the reports was played was that, being ever the professional he was determined to finish the program despite obviously being in no fit state to do so. Apparently, the moment the cameras stopped rolling he was rushed straight to hospital. 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 (TIA).
