Lorraine Kelly confirms battery in package sent to her sparked ITV evacuation

OHMYGOSSIP — Lorraine Kelly has confirmed a battery in a package sent to her from a film company sparked an ITV evacuation yesterday (10.03.22).
The channel was forced to pull its live broadcasting yesterday afternoon, meaning ‘This Morning’ and ‘Loose Women’ was forced off air, following a bomb threat.
The ‘Lorraine’ host has now revealed a package sent to her “looked a little it suspicious” after being X-rayed, but it was “all fine and dandy”.
Speaking on ‘Good Morning Britain’ while previewing what is coming up on her show today (11.03.22), she said: “Apparently, I am told somebody from a film company sent me a wee present and it had a battery in it, and when they X-rayed it it looked a little bit suspicious. But it was all fine and dandy, and it’s OK.”
‘GMB’ presenter Kate Garraway said: “It’s lovely to know people are worried about you and are taking care of you isn’t it?”
Lorraine admitted one positive from the incident is that it shows “the system all works”.
She said: “It shows the system all works, so it’s all fantastic.”
‘GMB’ co-host Ben Shephard then joked: “The crew on ‘This Morning’ were thrilled to bits, because it meant they got to go outside for a couple of hours.”
Lorraine replied: “I know, what a shame. At least it proves the system works though.”
‘This Morning’ was in its final moments when the show went off air.
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.”
Transport For London then tweeted revealing there was a “security alert” outside White City tube station, which is situated close to the 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.”
