Rageh Omaar, the famous ITV newsreader, was recently spotted in public for the first time since his unexpected illness on live TV. It was back in April when the 56-year-old presenter seemed to struggle while reading from the autocue during the News At Ten news broadcast. Concerned viewers flooded Ofcom with complaints, questioning why he was allowed to continue on air in such a worrying state. However, Rageh himself later stated that he was determined to finish the show.
After the cameras stopped rolling, Rageh received immediate medical attention and is now recovering at home with his family. In the latest pictures, the journalist, who rose to fame for his reporting during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, looked to be in good spirits. He was seen taking a leisurely stroll in the sunshine near his home in Chiswick, west London, dressed in black trousers, a rust-colored fleece, and sandals. As he walked with his head down, the sun shone on his face.
Rageh's colleague Charlene White provided an update on his health, saying that he is doing well and will share more about what happened when he is ready. She also mentioned that ITV News is like a family, and they have been checking on him daily to make sure he has all the support he needs. After the incident, ITV received numerous complaints, but they issued a statement thanking viewers for their support and wishing Rageh a speedy recovery. In his own statement, Rageh expressed his gratitude for the kindness and good wishes he has received from everyone, including the medical staff and his colleagues at ITV News.
It is still unclear what exactly happened to Rageh during the live broadcast, as he struggled at multiple points throughout. Many viewers took to social media in a state of alarm, with the issue even trending. Some were shocked that he was able to continue presenting, while others thought he might be having a stroke. In total, Ofcom received 73 complaints about the incident.
