BBC Breakfast descends into chaos as girl screams in agony after crashing scooter live on air - and rival camera crew invade broadcast
BBC Breakfast descended into chaos on Tuesday morning as a girl crashed her scooter live on air while a journalist reported on location - and a rival camera crew gatecrashed their segment.
The latest episode saw Sally Nugent, 53, and Ben Thompson, 44, - who stepped in for John Kay, 55 - share the latest news and headlines with viewers.
Correspondent Andy Verity joined the pair from South London to report on the Post Office inquiry.
But the report was a little chaotic due to a number of reasons as he stood outside the Oval's Alex Stewart Gate to read the first findings of the report.
While journalist Andy was talking to presenter Ben, he was unaware that a young girl fell off her scooter right behind him and she began to cry.
Just moments after finishing the segment, Ben said: 'Andy now, thanks very much.
'Apologies for some of the audio quality there...
'But continued coverage of those findings as we get them available on BBC News and the BBC News website too.'
Not only that, another camera crew managed to get themselves in shot while Andy was filming.
A man holding his camera and a woman holding her mobile phone were seen in the background looking deep in a discussion about a camera shot.
As they discussed, the woman walked further and further back into Andy's shot, not realising that she was in full view.
Another woman walked straight into the camera view and quickly jumped out.
Meanwhile Andy was a true professional and kept presenting his segment, not aware of what was going on behind him.
He told viewers: 'What we're expecting later this morning is to find out exactly what Sir Wyn Williams, the inquiry chair, wants to do about compensation.
'As you mentioned, this is an epic scandal, it goes back to 1999, or some say even further, when these prosecutions started.'
It comes after Susanna Reid left fans 'surprised and confused' as she made a return to the BBC 11 years after quitting the channel's Breakfast show.
Over the years Susanna, 54, has had a very successful career in the journalism industry, having worked for a number of the main broadcasters in the UK.
The 54-year-old is arguably best known for currently presenting ITV's Good Morning Britain, after taking on the role in 2014.
But some may have forgotten that she also used to work for one of ITV's rival channels.
Susanna presented BBC Breakfast alongside Bill Turnbull, 66, and Charlie Stayt, 63, between 2001 and 2014.
And on Sunday she returned to take part in a panel with Laura Kuenssberg, 48.
Susanna shared as snap of the day on Instagram and captioned the post: 'SUNDAY! Always fantastic to be on @bbclaurak back at the BBC, this morning with @danielkebede and James Harding @theobserveruk @oversnap.
'Back @gmb tomorrow!'
Many rushed to the comments section to share how much they loved her being back on our screens on a Sunday.
