CNN anchor Poppy Harlow passed out while anchoring a live broadcast Monday morning. She was not on screen, but began to slur her words as she read a graphic, before going quiet.
After a few moments of silence, CNN cut to a commercial. When they returned, Harlow, who is pregnant, told viewers she got a bit hot and passed out for a moment. She was later replaced by Christine Romans.
Harlow updated concerned viewers with a message on Twitter, saying she is with the doctor and is OK:
The 33-year-old Minnesota native is expecting her first child, a daughter, with her husband Sinisa Babsic, according to Ad Week. She is due in the spring.
“We could not be more thrilled to have a little girl on the way,” Harlow told Ad Week’s TVNewser. “We feel blessed and are excited for the adventure ahead.”
