Look North has issued an apology to viewers, after the BBC show was unable to deliver a breakfast bulletin on Tuesday morning due to a fire alarm.
Many viewers who tune into BBC Breakfast every day also get a number of updates from their local region, as well as the main national broadcast of news and current affairs broadcast from Manchester, hosted by Sally Nugent and Jon Kay.
But, as the Look North team got ready for their final bulletin on Tuesday morning, after everything had ran smoothly earlier on, things went awry thanks to a fire alarm going off at the BBC studios on Barrack Road.
That meant that viewers in the North East and Cumbria didn't get the news they were expecting, instead being greeted by a news update from London and were also left concerned as to what was going on, as no explanation was given.
An explanation arrived on Twitter, just before 9.30am, when a post appeared on the BBC North East and Cumbria account which read: "Apologies to our Look North viewers. The fire alarm went off just before our last breakfast bulletin which meant we had to evacuate the building. We will be back at 1:30 with the lunchtime Look North."
Quick to react, a worried viewer replied: "Hope all's OK. We were wondering what had happened"
