He is most-known for presenting ITV News and appearing on GB News
TV veteran Alastair Stewart has revealed he has been diagnosed with early onset vascular dementia. The 71-year-old former ITV News presenter retired from regular broadcasting on GB News earlier this year after nearly five decades on air.
He told GB News programme The Camilla Tominey Show on Sunday: “I mean, the headline story, and it is relatively dramatic, I suppose, is that about six, nine months ago, I began to feel one of my favourite words, a bit discombobulated.
According to the NHS, the common condition is caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, which has symptoms including slowness of thought and problems with concentration. Stewart said that, following the news, he moved to “a contributor contract” at GB News and has appeared as a commentator on major news events such as the King’s Coronation for the channel.
