A TV duel between the two candidates to succeed British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been called off after a medical emergency. TalkTV presenter Kate McCann has fainted, the network announced last night. Even if she is fine, the duel will not continue on medical advice.
The duel between British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and former finance minister Rishi Sunak was surprisingly interrupted half an hour after it began. Viewers saw Truss interrupt her speech, look shocked and mutter “Oh my God”. Viewers sent Kate McCann well wishes on Twitter.
“Sun” journalist with absent CoV
“Sun” correspondent Harry Cole, who was supposed to moderate the duel with McCann, left at the last minute due to a CoV infection, as he announced on Twitter yesterday morning. McCann then wrote that both prepared the debate together – either personally or virtually remained open.
Both candidates are doing well, according to TalkTV. Both remained in the studio and would talk to “Sol” readers invited to the debate, he said.
Truss lamented the end of the duel and tweeted that she was relieved to hear that McCann was okay. Sunak thanked him for the “great debate” and wrote on Twitter that it was good to know McCann was on the mend. He’s looking forward to being “grilled” by her again soon.
