BBC Breakfast was thrown into chaos on Friday morning (November 24) when its hosts were rushed out of the building during an evacuation.

Another viewer pointed out a graphic blunder had been missed. They claimed the re-directed BBC Breakfast programme was still displaying graphics to do with the Concorde report even though the reporter in Beirut was on screen.
It meant the graphics and news report didn’t match at all. They wrote: “When the feed from BBC Breakfast inadvertently cuts to the World News Feed during a report on Concorde, but the original graphics keep going…”

They weren’t the only one who noticed. “Does @BBCBreakfast realise its cut to @BBCBreaking and still showing Concorde credits?”, wrote another.
It’s been reported that the presenters were evacuated due to a fire alert, although this is yet to be confirmed. Daily Star has contacted the BBC for comment.
