London – The raging fight between two Conservative Party candidates for the seat of British prime minister took an unusual turn on Tuesday, and the debate between Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss was interrupted by the server crash.
The broadcast was handled by TalkTV, mediated by journalist Kate McCann, the channel’s Policy editor.
Candidate Truss puts her hands on her face and says, “Oh my God,” while answering a question with the camera off. A sound is heard in the background.
The candidate leaves the podium and then enters a message from the station apologizing for the interruption of the program.
The surprise image of Liz Truss quickly circulated on social media with memes and speculations about what might happen behind the scenes, as the MC wasn’t shown the moment she passed out.

Minutes later, presenter Ian Collins went on the air from another network studio and said he had a “medical problem”.
Then TalkTV reported via Twitter that McCann was fine, but doctors advised them not to continue the discussion.’
“We apologize to our viewers and listeners.”
Kate McCann passed out on the air tonight, and although she was fine, the medical advice was that we shouldn’t continue arguing. We apologize to our viewers and listeners.

The health problem of the fainted server did not appear
McCain single-handedly moderated the debate, as his colleague Harry Cole, a policy editor at The Sun, tested positive the morning of the show.
The publisher did not disclose the reason for the fainting.
No journalists were prepared to continue the mediation, so candidates Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss were still in the studio talking and answering questions from The Sun readers in the audience.
