Watched this.

At first I thought it was a problem with his autocue but it became clear it wasn't that.

He was as though he couldn't get his words out, constantly stumbling over and almost slurring what he was saying and not making much sense at times. His left eye kept squinting almost shut too. He did the full news broadcast like this too, was quite concerning. Was half expecting him to be replaced midway through but he wasn't.

I really hope he's okay.

Rageh Omaar: ITV host receiving medical care after becoming unwell live on air

ITV News presenter Rageh Omaar is receiving medical care after becoming "unwell" live on air, ITV has said.
Omaar, 56, was presenting the channel's News at Ten programme on Friday when he appeared to be struggling to read the bulletins.
The incident sparked widespread concern on social media.
Omaar serves as International Affairs Editor at ITV News and was formerly a foreign correspondent for the BBC.
"We are aware that viewers are concerned about Rageh Omaar's wellbeing," an ITV News spokesperson said.
"Rageh became unwell while presenting News at Ten on Friday and is now receiving medical care.
"He thanks everyone for their well wishes."
No further details of Omaar's condition or what happened to him during the broadcast have been released.
However, ITV pulled the programme from its scheduled re-runs on ITV+1, with a message instead telling viewers that ITV was "temporarily unable to bring you our +1 service".
"We will resume shortly," it read.
Omaar first rose to prominence covering the war in Iraq for the BBC in 2003.
He now covers major news stories across the world for ITV News and also presents current affairs programme On Assignment.

Yes i watched as well and thought exactly the same - autocue problems, he was very professional to carry on, it looked a bit like he had a mini stroke. He'll be getting good medical care. I wish him the best.
