Privacy NoticeThis week’s Good Morning Britain took a dramatic turn as Charlotte Hawkins and Rob Rinder had to abruptly switch gears for some urgent “breaking news”. The duo was diving into the violent scenes that erupted in Harehills, Leeds, where chaos reigned supreme last nighta bus engulfed in flames and a police car upended. A prominent “BREAKING NEWS” alert flashed across the screen while Charlotte and Rob filled in concerned viewers on the havoc. Amid the turmoil, West Yorkshire Police issued a stern warning: “We want to make it very clear that the full weight of the law will be brought against those responsible.” But the live broadcast didn’t go smoothly; technical glitches marred the feed to Harehills, and reporter Polly Bartlett struggled with her report. This fumble didnt escape notice, prompting a whirlwind of reactions from the audience.

Someone tweeted their discomfort watching the uneasy moment: “I hate the cringe of someone dying on live TV. Come on Polly you can do it,” reports the Mirror. Queries about Polly’s condition surfaced online”Is Polly all right? “and empathy flowed for her tough day, juxtaposed with critiques like, “Poor Polly is having a bad day. I reckon Katy Rickitt will be back next time.” Yet, amidst the criticism, voices of support for Polly emerged, recognising her courage under pressure. A viewer applauded her, saying, “Huge kudos to @polly_bartlett, doing a sterling job reporting through disruptive horn honkers and tech issues this morning.”

Another echoed the sentiment regarding the rude interruptions, “Those people honking are just so rude.” Polly reported from the site: “It is a lot calmer here this morning but you really don’t have to look far to see the damage these riots caused. There is debris all over the floor and a number of burnt-out vehicles including this double decker bus and a police car.” “The rioting went on for hours last night and police were forced to tell local residents to stay at home so when the situation was finally brought under control members of the local community came to try and put out the fires and clear up some of the mess.” Throughout her report, passing vans and cars could be heard honking their horns, trying to disturb the broadcast, yet Polly kept her cool and continued reporting.Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
