Sky News was forced to suspend its broadcast in the middle of an interview after a fire alarm was sounded on Monday.

Presenter Anna Botting had to cut short her interviewee, political correspondent Jon Craig at around 11.15 pm.

"Jon Craig, I do apologise, I have to butt in. There is a fire alarm in the area that controls our programming. We'll be back shortly," Botting said.

The broadcaster resumed its work at midnight after airing a pre-recorded documentary about a British conman, Mark Acklom.

Botting tweeted about the development and apologised to the guests she didn't have the chance to interview.

​It is unclear whether there was an actual fire in the building, or this was a false alarm.
