A BBC Breakfast live report from the Download festival was gatecrashed forcing the hosts into an emergency return to the studio. Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt were forced to cut short an interview from Download Festival in Leicestershire due to the incident this morning.
The festival is taking place this weekend celebrating its 20th anniversary this year with a special four-night festival, compared to the usual three nights. This means that extra traffic has been expected - and according to reports there is widespread gridlock in the area around Donington.
East Midlands Airport, Download Festival, and Leicestershire Police all issued warnings to expect delays - and there were three-hour queues reported yesterday. On BBC Breakfast today reporter Hannah Miller was reporting live from the scene of the campsite. She said people had been partying until: “Really really late into the night only just going to bed some of them. There are a few early risers also coming round.” Then a man with a can in his hand came into the shot and said “I love my prescription speed provided by the NHS.”
