Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Arnold forced to abandon live broadcast from New York

Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Arnold was forced to abandon a live broadcast from New York this morning, after he was bombarded by revellers.

Richard was live outside the Stonewall Inn chatting to Piers and Susanna via video link about World Pride when he had to cut back to the studio.

It was 2.30am in New York and the party was still in full swing, with lots of people passing behind Richard, reports Liverpool Echo.

As he filled Susanna and Piers in on what had been happening in New York he was suddenly accosted by party-goers.

They seemed good-natured and soon ran off, but then some more people passed by and looked more aggressive - shouting things at the camera.

It was then that Richard looked behind him alarmed and said "Right we'll go back to the studio now then."

Back in the studio Piers said: "We should never have gone live to him in New York in the early hours."

Later on in the programme Piers and Susanna apologised for the "fruity" language used by some of the revellers, which was unsuitable for the 7:30am audience.

GMB continues at 6am on ITV tomorrow
