Well, this is a bit odd!

BBC Breakfast seemed to have had a visit from the dark side yesterday morning.

Presenters Louise Minchin and Dan Walker were conducting an interview with actress Jo Horton when a black shadow flashed crossed the screen.

The video was posted on YouTube with many questioning what the black ghostly figure was.

However, a BBC spokesperson has shed some light on the occurrence.

“This was an effect on a filter of the camera relating to the lighting switching on,” she told The Sun.

“You can see a red spotlight at the top of the screen changing to a star effect, so it’s just a technical thing.”
