‘Going to need to stop’: Australian weatherman suffers panic attack during live on-air, video goes viral

Bryne’s co-host Lisa Millar took over the broadcast immediately. He came back later in the show, apologising to anyone who got scared by his sudden exit. “Thank you all so much for helping me out,” he says.

In 2022, Bryne opened up about his first panic attack, calling it “terrifying” and how it changed his understanding of mental health. “I’d later find out that what I was experiencing was diagnosable and manageable, but in that moment I thought that my career was over,” Stuff quoted Bryne.

In April, BBC weather presenter Simon King suffered breathing issues during a live broadcast. Later, he reassured his viewers it was the effects of running up stairs on his way to the studio.
