A Good Morning Britain correspondent was cut off during a live report from the US on today’s programme by co-host Ranvir Singh.
Noel Phillips had appeared earlier on Wednesday’s show to detail how he had been hit with a rubber bullet the previous morning while covering the response to unrest in Los Angeles.
President Trump has sent National Guard troops into the Californian city to quell protests relating to immigration arrests. But as Noel shared the latest updates concerning standoffs following raids just after 8am, his GMB segment was quickly shut down.
What happened on Good Morning Britain today?
That’s because explicit language could be heard in the background of Noel’s TV report.
But within moments of the bad language – believed to be from nearby protestors – making air, Ranvir revealed why the broadcast was halted.
Ranvir reacted: “I’m just going to interrupt that… I think we could hear some profanities being spoken.”
I think we could hear some profanities being spoken.
She continued: “That’s my understanding of what’s going on there near Noel. And we can’t really broadcast that at quarter past eight in the morning. We’re going to try to get back to him.”
