ITV daytime shows disrupted by security alert

Posted on 10th March 2022 by The Clean Feed Team
Last updated on 30th December 2022 Filed under News

Today’s editions of This Morning and Loose Women were disrupted as a result of a security alert at White City.

Television Centre – where both shows are based – was evacuated at around 12.15pm.

Shortly before 12.15pm, This Morning headed into a commercial break. At this point the programme had been broadcasting live, as usual.

However, after the commercial break, we had a pre-recorded, highlights edition of This Morning, including a full title sequence. There was no on air explanation for the switch to a pre-recorded edition of the show.

At 12.30pm, the pre-recorded show headed into a commercial break, with the promise of more highlights after the break.

In fact, immediately after the commercial break, we headed into a pre-recorded, compilation version of Loose Women. Again, no on-air explanation was provided for the lack of live show.

ITV Playout overlaid a caption on the pre-recorded shows: “This is a pre-recorded programme”.

The ITV Lunchtime News went out as planned at 1.30pm.

The Metropolitan Police said the security incident was stood down at 12.49pm.
