What happened?
As Holly explained what segment was coming up, the screen went black.
Phil said: “Oh look at this… blackout.”

Holly asked: “Oh no! Are we there?”
Phil said: “We managed to stay on for all this time, it would be a shame if it went now.
“Who would have believed a public toilet would take us off air?”
Eventually the show returned to normal and Holly and Phil continued presenting duties.
