A protestor yelled at BBC Breakfast presenter Nina Warhurst over ice cream costs and the BBC licence fee.
The 42-year-old presenter, who is expecting her third child, was communicating with Sally Nugent and Jon Kay via video link.
Her story from Salford Quays, however, was cut short when she was challenged by a guy.
She had been saying: ‘I’m treating myself to an ice cream cone shortly but Claire’s prices have gone up to £3.50 for a single cone and it’s not surprising really when you look at the overall inflation of food and ingredients.’
Someone in the background then started yelling, prompting Nina to back up.
While it was unclear what he was saying, the guy was yelling ‘licencing fee’ at the camera and Nina.
The man was still ranting from behind the camera as Nina turned aside and continued to report.
‘BBC slash the licence fee,’ could be heard.
‘Clearly there is a lot of demand for ice cream,’ Jon joked in the studio.
Sally added: ‘Don’t mess with our Nina.’
She went on to reassure viewers that Nina would be ‘completely fine’.
Nina later updated fans on Twitter, saying ‘Thanks for the messages you lovely lot.
‘I am fine. Just gutted I didn’t have time for an ice cream.’
‘Handled like the true professional,’ one viewer wrote.

Someone else penned: ‘You coped with that confidently and professionally But I was a little bit worried for you, so glad you’re OK xx.’
Another commented: ‘So afraid for you at the time. What a scary moment. You dealt with it so well. What a trooper you are Nina.’
BBC Breakfast airs weekdays at 6am on BBC One.
