BBC Breakfast goes off air as fans ‘confuse’ Roger Johnson and Rachel Burden

BBC Breakfast aired on Saturday morning after an alarm went off in the studio, forcing the presenters to evacuate.

Host Roger Johnson and Rachel Burden’s interview with The Apprentice winner Harpreet Kaur came to an abrupt end when it was interrupted by alarm.

Fans immediately scolded the presenters, who seemed “confused” by the noise, as they looked absently around the studio and apologized to their hosts.

As the baffled conductors sat on the sofa, “watch out, watch out, please evacuate” echoed in the studio throughout the show.

Rachel argued, explaining the situation, “So an alarm has bugged us, we might need to delay it.”

The two couldn’t apologize enough as Harpreet and her guests sat on the couch with their pastries.

Rachel continued: “We’ll have to leave the studio for now, hopefully we can come back to talk about the pies before the show is over.”

Roger looked confused by the message as he addressed the audience and added, “Thanks, enjoy everything you do for the rest of the day.”

“I think we should go, Harpreet. I’m sorry it was so bad that you brought your cupcakes.

“Harpreet, I’m so sorry, we think we’re on the air, we don’t know… Thanks for watching… here we say goodbye.”

Horrible: Fans took to Twitter criticizing the “slow” and messy evacuation of the studio by the hosts and saying they needed better fire safety training

Fans flocked to Twitter criticizing the studio’s “slow” and messy evacuation by the hosts and saying they needed better fire safety training.

One wrote: ‘#BBC shows exactly how not to respond to an emergency alert. Let’s sit here and apologize to each other while we burn!!’

Another added: ‘Obviously it would be useful to have some fire drills in the future. Apparently the man didn’t even know what he was listening to.

Slow! Some users have added GIFs as they compare the server’s evacuation speed to that of a snail.

A third viewer joked: “BBC breakfast hosts love every schoolboy, ‘Do we really have to go?’ Yes, in general a fire alarm means you need to leave quickly.’
