TV Reporter Jessica Robb Becomes Ill On Air During Live CTV Broadcast

CTV Edmonton reporter Jessica Robb was doing a live remote on the six o’clock news when she began jumbling her words as she spoke to anchor Nahreman Issa.

“Sorry, Nahreman, I’m not feeling very well right now, and I’m about to…” Robb said as her eyes glazed over and she appeared to have trouble standing.
