A weather presenter was forced to stop his broadcast when he suffered a panic attack live on-air.
ABC News Breakfast presenter Nate Byrne alerted his colleagues Lisa Millar and Michael Rowland, telling them he needed to take a break after feeling the onset of a panic attack on Tuesday (13 August).
Byrne said: “I’m actually going to need to stop for a second.
“Some of you may know that I occasionally get affected by some panic attacks, and actually that’s happening right now.”
Millar mentioned a piece Byrne had written two years ago about experiencing panic attacks on air, and said: I reckon we might re-up it so you can have a bit of a read because it’s fantastic .”
