Ryan Seacrest has denied he suffered a stroke on Sunday after he seemingly struggled to read off his script during the American Idol finale broadcast.

A rep for Ryan told People on Monday: ‘Ryan did not have any kind of stroke last night,’ 

‘Like many people right now, Ryan is adjusting to the new normal and finding work-home balance, with the added stress of having to put on live shows from home.’

The TV host did not appear on Live with Kelly & Ryan on Monday morning.
