Maybe newsflash with reference to NC?

EDIT: BBC now clear that reports are unconfirmed - but are running with that rather than rushed to hospital

I was wondering that too. ITV1 also have a junction at 23:35 after Trial & Retribution. Interesting to see if either cuts in with a short bulletin.

EDIT: ITV1 have!
