After ITV news presenter Rageh Omaar fell ill during a news segment, a video has been circulating online, which has been met with criticism by Loose Women's Charlene White
Loose Women stars Charlene White and Denise Welch have vented their anger over the sharing of a clip of ITV newsreader Rageh Omaar falling ill live on TV.
It remains unconfirmed as to the nature of his illness but he has since thanked fans for their "kindness and good wishes” as he recovers at home. The Loose Women star hit out, writing on Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter: "How about everyone stops posting and re-posting a video of a man becoming unwell live on TV. Who does that benefit? Sometimes real life isn't just about upping your engagement figures, and upping your likes".
A ITV News source told Mail on Sunday that the producers were trying to replace Rageh but he wanted to complete delivering the news: "The programme team were trying to replace him when they realised there was a problem. They sent the standby presenter to the set to take over but he insisted on remaining on air.
