GMB’s North America correspondent Noel Phillips’ outdoor segment amid the LA riots was disrupted by ‘profanities’[/caption]
As the reporter attempted to outline the unfolding riots in the American city, a furious resident also appeared on screen shouting out swear words – which the camera clearly picked up.
Noel, who was clad in safety protection gear as rioters battled cops over immigration raids, then said: “I do apologise for language you are hearing, tensions are very high here.”
Good Morning Britain favourite Ranvir then cut in and addressed the “profanities” broadcast before she apologised.
She said: “I’m just going to interrupt that – I think we could hear some profanities going on near Noel.”
She continued: “Of course we can’t really broadcast this at 8.09am but we are going to try to get back to him,” before cutting the live broadcast and instead introducing a pre-recorded segment Noel had filmed on the standoff.
One fan was quick to flag the incident on social media and raged: “Nearly choked on my cornflakes! Never expected that bystander’s sweary rant on @GMB.”
Noel was hit by a rubber bullet yesterday while reporting on the riots.
Later in the show, he told how he was doing “much better than I was” after being pelted by the golf ball size device, which left a “huge wound.”
POTUS Donald Trump has sent 700 US Marines and another 2,000 National Guard troops to LA to defend the city from immigration raid riots.
Violent protests have spread across the US over the past 24 hours with lawless demonstrators arrested in California, New York and Texas.
The City of Angels has been engulfed in anarchy over the past four days as rioters have burned cars and battled with cops.
A defiant Trump has called for a quick end to the protests so he can enforce his immigration policy.
The President has claimed LA – a sanctuary city – has now been “invaded” by illegal immigrants.
He raged “If they spit, we’ll hit” after reports of masked rioters spitting in the face of cops emerged.
