Mike Willesee had a health scare when he collapsed at a Sydney Airport counter Mike Willesee. VETERAN TV newsman Mike Willesee collapsed yesterday at Sydney Airport. The Sunday Night interviewer was said to be checking in for an international flight when he fell to the floor at Air New Zealand's counter. Onlookers said Willesee, 70, was "beetroot red in the face" and "unsteady on his feet" before he fainted. "The guy looked really unwell," a witness said. He was talking very slowly and was slurring and it was obvious he needed help. Four ambos treated him for about 10 minutes. Then he signed a form saying he didn't need to go to hospital. Willesee - in the throes of divorce with wife of 11 years, make-up artist Gordana Kero - was aided by federal police officers before paramedics arrived. "At about 2pm we received a call to assist a patient who had collapsed," an Ambulance NSW spokesman said. After initial treatment it was decided the patient did not need to be transported to hospital. A spokeswoman for Channel 7 said last night: "Until we speak with Michael we are unable to comment." sWillesee and Kero - who have a 10-year-old son together, Rocco- split in 2010 but it's understood they are still finalising the terms of their settlement. Six months after separating, Kero started a relationship with New York-based Aussie chef Jason Roberts, who proposed to her in June. "It's been a difficult few years for (Willesee)," a friend said yesterday. Willesee joined Sunday Night last year in what some have described as a reprieve from his tumultuous personal life. Kero and Roberts will be married this year.
