A woman has sparked fury after intruding on a live news report covering the tragic attacks in Nottingham, walking into view of the camera and waving her arms around.

On Wednesday June 14, a vigil was held at the University of Nottingham in honour of late students Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar, who were both 19 when killed in a stabbing in the city.

School caretaker Ian Coates, 65, was also a victim of the attack, having been found dead after being knifed and his van stolen.

During a live broadcast from Nottingham, Sky News reporter Sarah-Jane Mee was sharing some updates to viewers, explaining that where she was standing was ‘one of the sites in the city centre that the police are operating in’.

She explained that the broadcaster’s correspondent was on a different road in the city and that they were going to turn to them for more updates.

At that point, an unknown woman walked into view of the camera behind Mee, waving her arms in the air while other pedestrians strolled around.
