When you're working in the hectic world of live news, dealing with unexpected circumstances is all part of the job.
Struggling to find the right camera. A badly-timed text message. Kids. It happens.
The latest live news incident came courtesy of ITV, when anchor Tom Bradby was interrupted mid-broadcast by a fire alarm on Wednesday evening.
Luckily he handled it like a total pro.

The most gloriously British response to a fire alarm ever? Twitter certainly seemed to think so.
That's a very British way of announcing a fire alarm ITV News. ‘Right, well I’m awfully sorry, these things happen and we have to evacuate’ Just go Tom we don't want you catching fire politely letting the public down on missing the news
