The 50-year-old newsreader has revealed the health crisis has caused a disturbance in the newsroom as the make-up artists kick-up a fuss about working with guests from Ebola-stricken countries.
It’s not so much the reporters that are showing signs of anxiety and panic at the BBC, but actually the make-up artists as they insist on not wanting to work with certain guests.
They are said to find it nerve-wracking working so closely with those with possible chances of having the fatal illness.
As suspicions arise of Ebola eventually hitting the UK, the BBC has confirmed some of their interviews with guests will take place over the phone. This depends on where they are coming from and whether they have been in contact with the contagious deadly disease. :eek: :shocked:
