Beth Rugby on Sky just said Johnson better hurry up because Strictly Come Dancing is on at 7.10. 🤣

Love how even Beth Rigby was talking about SCD 😂

She said they should 'get their skates on, as millions are waiting to watch SCD at 7.10 on the BBC. 😂😂

Just thinking that now we are going back into lockdown, I wonder if GMB will scrap the News half hour/Newsreader and go back to just Piers and Susanna 6-9?

So what she’s saying is he should make a quickstep to the podium

(I’ll get my coat)

Is all this going out on BBC World too?

I'm sure many people wish he would foxtrot off.

No. World doing a separate bulletin.

5 minute regional bulletin then I take it another junction back to the special?

That was a random shot of reeta in front of one of the screens that’s usually used when another presenter is starting their shift but she went back to sit down at the end of the bulletin.

I think that was getting into position for the next link into the Sean Connery package.

I'm surprised that Chris Mason and Laura K are both at BH, don't the Politics team normally work out of Millbank? Would have thought that them being there would be better for social distancing.

Must be the first time Laura has been in the studio in months, she’s usually on a rooftop at Westminster

Reeta is certainly earning her money tonight, she’ll be co-hosting Strictly next
