ITV pull all live broadcasting following a bomb threat

OHMYGOSSIP — ITV has pulled all live broadcasting following a bomb threat.
‘This Morning’ had been airing in its usual midmorning slot on Thursday (10.03.2022) when the show returned from an ad break and regular presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby appeared in a pre-recorded segment explaining to viewers that they were unable to continue with the programme.
The show’s official Twitter account posted: “We apologise for the break in live programming today. We are currently running pre-recorded content and hope to be back with you soon.”
It is not known exactly why the programme was hastily taken off air, but Transport For London had issued a tweet detailing a “security alert” at the White City tube station, which is situated close to show’s broadcasting home at Television Centre.
The tweet read: “White City and Wood Lane stations closed: While the police respond to a security alert outside the station.”
Police were called to the area shortly after 11am after a “suspicious item” had been discovered and the incident was “stood down” over an hour later but an investigation is ongoing .
A statement from the Metropolitan Police reads: “At 11:14hrs on Thursday, 10 March, police were called to reports of a security alert at Wood Lane, White City. It was reported a suspicious item had been discovered.
“The area was evacuated as a precaution and White City and Wood Lane tube stations were temporarily closed. The incident was stood down shortly before 12:49hrs. An investigation is ongoing.”
‘Loose Women’ was also cancelled, with the live lunchtime chat show – which was due to air in its usual slot immediately after ‘This Morning’ – taken off air and replaced with a pre-recorded episode.
