Weather presenter’s alarm goes off during live broadcast

Viewers of BBC Northern Ireland’s Newsline had an unexpected bonus during the weather forecast at the end of the programme this evening.

For just over a minute of the weather segment, the presenter’s phone alarm was clearly audible.

At the end of the weather bulletin, presenter Cecilia Daly apologised to viewers: “If you can hear a tinkling, I’m really really sorry. It’s my alarm which has gone off. I’m so sorry.”
