However, the 33-year-old returned to the set a short time later to reassure viewers that she was "fine" and attributed the faint to "feeling a little hot". She later took to Twitter to update fans on her condition and the condition of her unborn child.
Thank you all for your concern and messages! I am ok! Passed out briefly and am with the doctor now. So thankful to our amazing CNN team.
