ITV’s Good Morning Britain was interrupted on Wednesday as much-loved presenter Charlotte Hawkins shared a breaking news announcement with viewers watching at home
Good Morning Britain was interrupted by Charlotte Hawkins as she delivered a breaking news update – which isn’t the first time she has been forced to halt the ITV show.
Following a big week for the show, today’s episode (February 12) was suddenly paused midway through the host’s report to share the breaking announcement. TV star Charlotte hosted the show alongside Ed Balls and Susanna Reid,.
Charlotte revealed that Thames Water is under investigation by industry regulator Ofwat due to the late delivery of environmental improvement schemes. Ofwat will investigate whether Thames Water has failed to deliver these schemes over the past five years.
The company had committed to 812 schemes but has admitted that 100 are unlikely to be implemented by March this year. These schemes aim to reduce the environmental impact of water companies through upgrades to sewage treatment works and minimizing wastewater spillages.
According to Lynn Parker, Ofwat’s senior director for enforcement: “Customers have paid for Thames Water to carry out these essential environmental schemes.” We take any indication that water companies are not meeting their legal obligations very seriously.
“Therefore, we have launched an investigation to understand whether the delayed delivery of environmental schemes means that Thames Water has breached its obligations,” reports the Express.
“If we find reason to act, we will use our full range of powers to hold Thames to account for any failures and will require them to put things right.”
