Meat Loaf pulled out of a live TV show today after he took ill just moments after viewers saw him balancing a banana on his head.

She said: 'A little bit of sad news - I'm afraid Meat Loaf has taken unwell so he's unable to join us for the end of the show... Meat Loaf, I hope you feel better soon.'
A spokeswoman for the show was unable to give details of his condition.

He was later seen being helped to a waiting car as he left the ITV studios.
It is not the first time the American has been taken ill during a public appearance.

And, when collecting a prize at the Q Awards in London in 2009, he appeared disoriented, which was later put down to an attack of vertigo.
Following the incidents, the rocker told fans: 'I f***** fainted. I have asthma... I can't breathe.'
On Monday, the star appeared on BBC's The One Show, saying: 'My brain's a little mush.'
