BBC Breakfast is pulled off air as studio is forced to evacuate in fire alarm scare
- Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty went off air on BBC Breakfast due to fire scare
This is the moment that BBC Breakfast was pulled off the air as the studio was forced to evacuate the studio in a fire alarm scare.
The news programme vanished from Britain’s televisions during halfway through a report, leaving viewers baffled.
Presenters Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty were giving viewers today’s latest updates when they went to a reporter in Bristol to mark 20 years since the final flight of the Concorde supersonic aeroplane.
As a reporter showed viewers the aircraft and and archive footage from its final flight, the report suddenly cut out and jumped to a BBC News report on Gaza.

BBC Breakfast viewers were confused as after the report they should have seen presenters Ms Munchetty and Mr Stayt back on their screens.
However, the broadcast on BBC One instead used the same as that from the BBC News channel.
But it was later explained that the both of them and the rest of the Breakfast team had to be evacuated from their studio after a fire alert.
The broadcast returned to the red sofa around 15 minutes later after a BBC News report concluded.
Ms Munchetty told viewers: ‘You’re returning to BBC Breakfast. Apologies, we had an evacuation in the building but we are back now with you to keep you up to date with the latest in the news.’
Worried fans took to social media to express concern, with one saying: ‘Hope everyone in #BBCBreakfast studio is ok and it’s just a technical glitch.’
MailOnline has contacted the BBC for comment.
