Pregnant CNN anchor faints mid-broadcast

A pregnant CNN news anchor had a bit of a scary moment on air when she fainted mid-broadcast yesterday.

Poppy Harlow was in the middle of a live report on ISIS when her speech gradually became slow and muffled. The moment of her collapse happened off-camera.

The producers then cut to co-anchor Brian Stelter who finished the segment before returning to Poppy who explained what happened:

"I got a little hot and I passed out for a moment, but I am fine," she said.

However, the 33-year-old anchorwoman was taken to hospital where she was monitored. She also tweeted updates on her condition, thanking everyone for their concern.

Happily, both Poppy and her unborn child are both doing fine.
