He said: “For me the first thing I saw was this huge cordon that was put into effect and the buses and trams being diverted.
“And the fact that there were so many multi-agencies in attendance and the British military in attendance, would draw me to speculate that this is a terrorist motivated incident.”
Holly replied: “If what you’re saying is right, I think people who are in Nottingham right now would be feeling very very scared but also asking, ‘why this city?”
Fans on Twitter have plead with the show to ensure the incident is reported wit sensibility.
One person said: “Whatever you report about this please ensure nobody’s feelings are hurt.”
