ITV News viewers have raised concerns tonight after a presenter seemed to stumble over his words and struggle to read the news bulletins. 

Rageh Omaar, 56, the ITV News International Affairs Editor was rounding up the top stories of the day on the News at 10 show when he suddenly becomes incoherent while live on air. 

ITV+1 later pulled the programme from its re-runs, as a message on screen said: 'We'll be back soon. We're temporarily unable to bring you our +1 service.

'We will resume shortly.'
