The latest Tory leadership debate between Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss has been cancelled after the presenter fainted on air.

The Sun and TalkTV debate, hosted by journalist Kate McCann, abruptly halted after a loud crash was heard.

Ms Truss was seen looking towards the floor, and ran over to where the journalist had been stood.

TalkTV said McCann is “fine” but that the channel had been given medical advice not to continue.

The incident occurred around halfway through the hour-long programme. “We apologise to our viewers and listeners,” the channel added.

The latest televised debate between the two candidates had covered tax, the state of the NHS and rising living costs.

The two contenders were answering questions on the UK’s support for Ukraine when the debate went off air.
