Good Morning Britain has come under fire from viewers after a live broadcast during Storm Eowyn left weather reporter Nick Dixon visibly struggling against ferocious winds and rain.

Dixon, 53, was reporting from the coastal town of Largs in West Scotland on Friday morning, speaking to presenters Kate Garraway, 57, and Adil Ray, 50, about the current red weather warnings.

Millions across the UK have been urged to stay indoors as the storm threatens to bring "potentially life-threatening winds."

Dressed in a blue raincoat with his hood tightly secured, he battled the elements, his words barely audible over the howling wind. The camera captured him being visibly buffeted by the weather, prompting alarm from viewers and the presenters alike.

Garraway exclaimed: "Goodness me, we almost don't need to speak to you because we can see how much you're under pressure from those winds. And the red warning doesn't even arrive until 10am, does it?"

She added: “Are you okay?” to which a breathless Dixon responded: “Yeah, I'm okay.

“We're relatively safe here and I could do with a coffee right now but the conditions have really intensified in the last hour.”

The journalist continued to struggle to stand as the wind knocked his balance.

The segment sparked outrage online, with fans calling ITV "irresponsible" for putting the reporter in harm's way given the conditions.

Taking to X, one wrote: “The advice is ‘stay indoors’ ‘stay away from waters’ ‘do not travel’ - serious risk to life and that’s why we sent our best people out to report from the worst and most dangerous areas around the country #GMB #StormÉowyn.”

“’Avoid the coast’ the RED weather warning says. #gmb I know... let's put our reporter and crew by the coast. Shocking lack of care for your staff,” another penned.

A third added: “Deadly storm, risk to life and everyone's warned to stay home.. So we'll send our weather reporter out to stand on the coast where he can barely stand up in the wind.”

“#gmb absolutely irresponsible reporting this morning. Having any reporter out in a red weather warning areas is ridiculous. Safety first - why are your reporters any different than the rest of the population being told to stay indoors?? #Eowyn,' a fourth tweeted.

Another remarked: “Red warning - danger to life. Let’s make our reporter stand out in it #GMB.”

Dixon braved the relentless weather on Scotland's coast throughout Friday’s episode of Good Morning Britain, delivering updates on the chaos unleashed by Storm Eowyn.

Opening the programme, he painted a dramatic picture for viewers: "The wind is really picking up here this morning in Scotland. Already gusting over 65 miles per hour, and remember, more than half the country will be impacted by this red weather warning by 10am."

As the storm’s intensity grew, the show’s resident meteorologist Laura Tobin stepped in to underscore the seriousness of the situation, addressing sceptics who might underestimate the danger: "I just want to point out that anybody who thinks it's not that bad, it is just starting. It is just arriving across the west coast of the Republic of Ireland.

“I've got a track of where it's going next. You see how windy it is for Nick Dixon, it is set to get significantly stormier where he and across of the northern half of the UK.”

Storm Eowyn, one of the most severe weather events of the year, has already caused widespread disruption, with warnings of structural damage, travel chaos, and risks to life. The Met Office issued a rare red warning for parts of Scotland, cautioning against all but essential travel.

“The Tale Of Lady Ok” Stars Say Goodbye + Thank Viewers Ahead Of Tonight’s Finale

The stars of JTBC’s “The Tale of Lady Ok” have shared their final thoughts ahead of tonight’s series finale! “The Tale of Lady Ok” tells the story of the intense survival con game of runaway slave Goo Deok (Lim Ji Yeon), who assumes a false identity, and Cheon Seung Hwi (Choo Young Woo), who risks everything to protect her. With just one episode left to go, the drama’s leads took a nostalgic look back at filming and spoke fondly about what the series meant to them. Lim Ji Yeon shared, “Even as I was playing Ok Tae Young, I found myself rooting for her. Because she’s a character for whom I felt deep affection, I think [playing her] was all the more special.” She also expressed her gratitude to the show’s viewers, noting, “More people became invested in Ok Tae Young’s life than I’d expected, which surprised me. Many people gave me warm reviews that became a source of strength for me, so I was happy each and every day while the drama was airing.” “I’m grateful that I was able to start 2025 while receiving love from so many people,” she continued, “and I think I’ve gained the motivation that will be my driving force as I live out this new year. I wish all of you lots of good fortune in the new year.” Choo Young Woo commented, “While preparing for this drama, I went through many experiences that I will remember for a long time. Thanks to the admirable character of Seung Hwi, I think I was able to receive lots of interest.” He went on, “I would like to once again thank the director for trusting me with this role, and because everyone [who worked on the drama] spent so much time pondering it and poured so much love into it, I’m truly happy that the drama ended up receiving lots of love from many people. I hope the drama will remain in viewers’ hearts as a warm memory.” Kim Jae Won humbly remarked, “Each and every moment that I lived as Do Gyeom was a precious time that allowed me to grow as an actor.” “I hope that the new year is full of only health and happiness for you all,” he continued, “and no matter what ups and downs come your way, I hope you will overcome them wisely, just like Ok Tae Young, Cheon Seung Hwi, Sung Do Gyeom, and Cha Mi Ryeong of the Sung family.” Finally, Yeonwoo said, “Because ‘The Tale of Lady Ok’ was my first historical drama, I was very nervous and anxious, but thanks to all of my co-stars, I learned a lot and had a really great experience, so I think I’ll remember it for a long time.” She concluded, “It was truly an honor to be part of such a great drama, and I’m truly grateful to all of the viewers who gave us love.” The final episode of “The Tale of Lady Ok” will air on January 26 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
