Helena Wilkinson BBC News
Wilkinson is a news correspondent for BBC News. She has reported a number of stories since she joined BBC News.
On March 20, 2020, people catching up on the news at home were slightly distracted as a person in a fancy dress appeared behind Wilkinson, staring into the camera before walking out of frame. Wilkinson was reporting from Leicester Square, London, showing how a usually-thriving tourist area was left empty following Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s latest speech, commanding social venues to close to help contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.
“It feels very strange to be standing in the middle of Leicester Square, the heart of London, on a Friday evening,” Wilkinson said.
“It is nearly deserted here.”
Wilkinson wasn’t alone for too long, as she was soon joined by someone in the background, who’d decided to intrude on the live news broadcast while wearing a strange fancy dress get-up that involved a mask and admiral’s hat.
The moment didn’t go unmissed by viewers at home, with many sharing the clip on Twitter in disbelief.
One person wrote: “Check this boy on BBC News. Aye aye, Captain.”
Another joked: “Rees-Mogg makes an impromptu appearance wearing his coronavirus mask.”
