In a statement shared by ITV News, Mr Omaar said: "I would like to thank everyone for their kindness and good wishes, especially all the medical staff, all my wonderful colleagues at ITV News, and our viewers who expressed concern.

"At the time, I was determined to finish presenting the programme. I am grateful for all the support I've been given."

An ITV News spokesperson said he was recovering at home with his family following medical treatment at a hospital.

People across journalism and politics have posted messages of support for Mr Omaar.

Former environment minister Zac Goldsmith said in a post on X: "Rageh Omaar is one of this country's most iconic broadcasters. He's also a great, kind and deeply thoughtful man.

"Sending him and his family much love and so hoping this is just a minor blip."

Journalist Dan Walker posted: "I hope [he] is ok and is being looked after."

Mr Omaar covers major news stories as ITV's international affairs editor, while also presenting the channel's current affairs programme On Assignment.
