When you're working in the hectic world of live news, dealing with unexpected circumstances is all part of the job.

Struggling to find the right camera. A badly-timed text message. Kids. It happens.

The latest live news incident came courtesy of ITV, when anchor Tom Bradby was interrupted mid-broadcast by a fire alarm on Wednesday evening.

Luckily he handled it like a total pro.

The most gloriously British response to a fire alarm ever? Twitter certainly seemed to think so.

Don't panic, everyone. Tom's got this.
