Good Morning Britain halted as Charlotte Hawkins makes 'breaking news' announcement
Charlotte Hawkins delivered some "breaking news" on Friday's edition of Good Morning Britain, announcing to ITV viewers: "Good morning and starting with some breaking news."
"The UK's recovery from recession has been stronger than previously thought. The Office for National Statistics has issued revised growth figures for the first quarter and says that GDP rose by 0.7 percent between January and March and not at six percent as it had originally estimated."
The GMB Twitter account also posted a snippet of Charlotte's update, captioning it: "BREAKING NEWS." The tweet echoed Charlotte's words from the broadcast.
Social media users chimed in on the announcement, with one viewer commenting: "Good - but not great.", reports the Mirror.
Another remarked: "That's bigging up a 0.1% difference a bit too much there." A third called for scrutiny, posting: "Now none of us trust ONS. That's not right. We know that there's something very dodgy with managers in there. Investigation into them must be launched."
