Moment ITV news suddenly pulled off air as alarm in studio
THIS is the shocking moment ITV news was suddenly pulled off air as an alarm sounded in the studio.
The incident happened just after 10.30pm while Gamal Fahnbulleh was presenting the nightly news bulletin for ITV Granada News.
Those watching the show were puzzled after a fire alarm siren sounded in the background before the team had to evacuate.
The show immediately cut off and switched to a Yorkshire ITV news programme.
Confused viewers took to Twitter last night after wondering what had happened to the coverage.
ITV Granada later tweeted about the incident and clarified what happened in the incident.
The tweet read: “Apologies to all watching our late news tonight, as you may have been able to hear a fire alarm went off in the building and our team had to evacuate.
“Thanks to our colleagues at @itvcalendar for taking over our broadcast.”
Social media users were quick to share their thoughts on the disruption online.
One user tweeted: “so did we all just hear that noise on itv? #itvnews” .
Another responded: “Yes Itv granada news as been pulled, siren in background was calling for the building to be evacuated.”
A third worried viewer wrote: “what happened with the ITV Granada news tonight? Was there an incident in the studio? Hope all ok?”
“We seem to be getting Yorkshire after some kind of alert in Granada’s building,” added another.
