Kate McCann opens up about fainting at live Rishi Sunak & Liz Truss debate… and she’s back on TV today

KATE McCann has confirmed she will return to TalkTV TONIGHT after she fainted during last night's Tory leadership debate.

The broadcaster apologised to Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss after their showdown for Sun readers was cut short at 6.31pm.

This afternoon, Kate took to Twitter to reassure viewers, and reveal that she'll be back on Talk TV tonight.

She wrote: "Well that wasn't how last night was supposed to end!

"Thanks everyone for the lovely messages.

"I'm fine now - and apologies to Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak for cutting the debate short.

"Tonight I'll be unpicking the debate with some new polling from 7pm ( …yes, sat down!)"

Eyewitnesses last night told The Sun how Mr Sunak raced to Kate’s side after she "fainted on air" .

Ms Truss also went to check on the presenter and both candidates were seen kneeling down to make sure she was ok.

The candidates continued fielding questions from Sun readers after the show went off air.

During a fiery 30-minute debate before the incident, Foreign Secretary Ms Truss had promised to "relieve the burden on Sun readers" with a tax cuts bonanza.

But Mr Sunak hit back by branding her plans "morally wrong".

The ex-Chancellor accused Truss of cooking up fantasy promises - and said his priority was to bring down inflation.

He blasted: "I think Sun readers are sensible enough and have enough common sense to know that you don't get something for nothing."

Tensions flared once again in the heated race for No10 as the candidates prepare to clash in key battlegrounds.

Ms Truss flew out of the blocks to champion her key promise of lower taxes - and hurled a broadside at the former Chancellor for hiking taxes during his three years in the Treasury.

She said: "It's wrong, that we currently have the highest tax burden in this country that we've had for 70 years.

"And I believe that Sun readers want us to keep to our manifesto commitment of not raising taxes."

Mr Sunak hit back that her tax-cutting spree would only fuel inflation further, and said it was "immoral" to saddle our kids with future debt.

He said: "It's important what we leave our kids and our grandkids, and I think it is important to think about that inheritance, and I don't want to pass them a bill."
