ITV pull live This Morning off air as police surround studio during 'security incident'

ITV were forced to cut their live shows of This Morning and Loose Women today, with pre-recorded footage airing instead.

The usual hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield didn't reappear after the break on This Morning, as a pre-recorded segment announced that they could no longer be live to viewers today.

It has not yet been confirmed why the show was snatched off air today, but news reports suggest that there has been a security incident near to the studios, with White City and Wood Lane stations in London closed as police respond.

"The area was evacuated as a precaution and White City and Wood Lane tube stations were temporarily closed. The incident was stood down shortly before 12:49hrs. An investigation is ongoing."

Another fan wrote: ""What happened to #ThisMorning."

This Morning have released a statement today at 12:50pm apologising for the break in content.

The statement read: "We apologise for the break in live programming today. We are currently running pre-recorded content and hope to be back with you soon."

Loose Women's social media channels also posted the same message, but fans are still confused.

One worried viewer said: "@itvstudios please can you tell me what is going on, why are you showing pre recorded Loose Women and what happened to the end of This Morning."

This is a breaking news story and further updates will be made available.
