This Morning Cuts Live Feed Over Safety Fears as Ben Shephard Halts Jeff Brazier Moped Stunt

The on-air stoppage came during a 500-mile promotional trek for This Morning's £500,000 cash giveaway.

Overview

  • During a live remote near Balmoral, Jeff Brazier attempted to set off on a blue moped at the roadside with traffic passing.
  • Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard urged him to secure his helmet after spotting it was not fastened as the bike revved without moving.
  • Shephard instructed producers to cut the link, warning of the risk by a bridge, and the broadcast immediately dropped the clip.
  • This Morning later checked back in to show Brazier safe and continuing on foot after abandoning the moped leg.
  • The journey spans two days and five modes of transport from Balmoral to Buckingham Palace as part of the show's £500,000 tax-free competition promotion.
