BBC Breakfast chaos as Download Festival attendee interrupts live broadcast

A Download festival goer gate-crashed a BBC Breakfast live report, forcing the presenters to make an emergency return to the studio. Co-hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt were forced to cut an interview short from the ongoing Download Festival in Leicestershire after a visitor walked into the broadcast.

Download Festival is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year with a special four-night festival, rather than the usual three nights. Due to this, extra traffic has been occurring in the area, and reports state there is widespread gridlock in the area around Donnington reports Leicestershire Live.

Warnings over the delays have been issued by East Midlands Airport, Download Festival, and Leicestershire Police, and on Thursday, June 8, three-hour delays were reported. Earlier on BBC Breakfast on Friday, June 9, reporter Hannah Miller was reporting live from the scene of the campsite.
