ITV’s live shows have gone off air after a “security alert” near the London studios where they are filmed.
Police said they were called to Wood Lane, White City, where Television Centre is located, at 11.14am on Thursday.
At that time the live broadcast of This Morning went off air and a pre-recorded compilation show began.
A pre-recorded episode of Loose Women has also been shown.
The Mirror reports a bomb threat was behind the security alert but the Met Police say the incident has now been diffused.
A statement from the Metropolitan Police said: “At 11:14hrs on Thursday, March 10, police were called to reports of a security alert at Wood Lane, White City.
“It was reported a suspicious item had been discovered. 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.”
This Morning live today
Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield had been presenting the popular morning show when the live broadcast was pulled by ITV.
After the ad break, a pre-recorded segment explaining that they could not be with viewers today was shown on TV screens across the UK.
A pre-recorded episode of the show was playing with a message that reads: “This is a pre-recorded programme”.
Earlier in the show, footage was aired of an interview with Rebel Wilson, whilst Brenda Blethyn appeared on the show to talk about the new series of Kate and Koji.
But instead footage of a pre-recorded segment with ‘Britain’s dullest man’ was shown.
A tweet from Transport for London reads: "White City and Wood Lane stations closed: While the police respond to a security alert outside the station.”
Why is Loose Women not on?
Loose Women is the latest programme to be affected.
The show tweeted: “We apologise for the break in live programming today. We are currently running pre-recorded content and hope to be back with you soon.
“This is a repeat of Loose Women. Please don't try to enter any competition or interactivity as it won't count and you might still be charged.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
