CNN anchor Poppy Harlow is doing fine after briefly passing out on the air.

The pregnant anchor had been delivering the results of a War on Terror survey on Monday when she became overheated and fainted off-camera.

“Back here on American soil, bad news for the Obama administration. We have this new CNN/ORC poll, which is quite a ...” she began before slurring her words and going silent.

When she returned to the broadcast, the 33-year-old reassured viewers who had taken to Twitter to voice their concern.

“For all of you on Twitter who are asking if I’m OK, thank you so much,” Harlow said on air. “I got a little hot and I passed out for a moment. I am fine. We’re going to take a quick break. We’ll be right back.”
