I've only just noticed something. For a long time, before Tim Wilcox's newsflash surfaced online, I assumed the newsflash during The Chart Show was the first that ITV viewers were told of the incident. Obviously, that wasn't the case, but it's making me wonder why they broke into The Chart Show in the first place when they (seemingly) weren't reporting anything new? Did someone behind the scenes know that the news of her death was imminent? I know Dermot didn't hear of it until he actually reported it (highlighted by his rapid blinking as he's told of the news) so it's making me wonder why the newsflash happened. Or was it just ITN's decision to start rolling coverage instead of airing scheduled programmes?
