The perils of live television! BBC and Sky viewers are left in hysterics as toddlers crash interviews on BOTH channels - demanding biscuits and interior decoration tips

Viewers were left in hysterics today when both Sky and BBC News had one of their interviews crashed by toddlers. 
Dr Clare Wenham, from South London, appeared on BBC News today to discuss the coronavirus crisis, when her daughter Scarlett began rearranging a unicorn picture behind her, and even struck up a conversation with the newsreader.
Meanwhile journalist Deborah Haynes, from Kent, was interrupted on Sky News by her son who paid her a visit to discuss how many biscuits he was allowed to eat. 
Both channels' viewers were delighted by the exchanges, with one teasing that Clare's daughter was the 'best child interrupts news' clip they'd ever seen, while Deborah's son was praised for his keen biscuit negotiation skills.

On BBC news earlier today, Dr Wenham appeared to speak about the COVID pandemic with Christian Fraser at her South London home when her daughter Scarlett appeared. 
After Dr Wenham apologised, Scarlett remained in the room and began rearranging a shelf behind her, trying to figure out where to put a picture she had painted of a unicorn.  
'Mummy, where do you want this picture,  she asked, before repeating, 'Mummy, where do you want it?' 
After attempting to continue the interview, Christian gave in and addressed the little girl saying: 'Scarlett, I think it looks better on the lower shelf. It's a lovely unicorn.'

Upon hearing her name mentioned, Scarlett asked her mother: 'Mummy, what's his name?' 
'My name is Christian,' replied the newsreader. 
Scarlett went on: 'Christian, I'm just deciding where it can go and where mummy wants it to go.'
'I think just on that shelf is great, thank you,' said Dr Wenham, 'I'm so sorry'.
The presenter remained in good spirits about the interview, joking that it was 'the most informative interview I've done all day'.

Viewers were left in hysterics, with one writing: 'I love kids. They don't care if mum has an important BBC interview. They must attend to the much more important matter of WHICH SHELF TO PUT THE UNICORN PICTURE.' 
Journalist Charlie Haynes agreed: 'This is without a doubt the best 'child interrupts BBC news interview' i've ever seen. Zero f**ks given, doing some interior design in the background behind her mum, then comes over to demand the presenter's name.'
Many praised the way Christian handled the situation, writing: 'I love that the anchor was able to play it off for her and make everyone comfortable. What a good guy.' 
Another agreed: 'Good on the news reader to act normal and engage with the child....well done BBC!

Sharing photo of herself and Charlotte, Laura admitted that at least her little girl didn't interrupt her live broadcast.
'That’s a wrap from me & my ‘helpful’ assistant Charlotte (who also helped with makeup) I hoped she’d be distracted by play-Doh & colouring-She wasn’t (for a recording) BUT breakfast meant my live weather went uninterrupted. Who can relate?', she penned.  
In October last year, NBC reporter Courtney Kube was interrupted by her young son during a live news broadcast - after he wandered onto the set at their Washington DC studios. 
Kube, who is NBC's national security and military reporter, was ever-the-professional as her cheeky toddler began hugging her and tried to pull on her hair. 
'Excuse me, my kids are here!' Kube smiled as she tried to remove her son from the camera's view.

The TV presenter told Central European News (CEN) that she had to collect her daughter from nursery and quickly return to work when the incident happened.
She said: 'I wasn't married at the time and my mum lived on the other side of town so there was no one I could leave her with when I had to go to work.'
Kizilova said that she was not punished by channel bosses for the live mishap.
She commented: 'I was worried about losing my news role, but the producer asked the team about the public reaction and was told that it had been positive.
The incident took place in 2012, but was shared on social media earlier this year.
