Good Morning Britain star Nick Dixon insisted that he was 'safe' because he was battered by serious wind in the midst of Storm Eowyn – concern of viewers about whether he and other reporters who fight on TV should be again, completely outside should be.
The correspondent was broadcast to Largs on the west coast of Scotland to report on the storm of the century – a 'weather bomb' that caused deadly windfalls up to 114 km / h in some parts of Great Britain.
Although he insisted that Kate GarraWay and Adil Ray were 'okay', Nick visibly saw his feet unstable while he was blown around by the furious wind.
His hood could be visibly blown up and blown back, while his jacket was beaten with rain or water from Clyde's fire.
“We are okay, we are okay, we are relatively safe here, I could do with a coffee,” he said, while his hood was furiously buffered by the gusts of wind, he said before they were struck at least 65 mph.
“The circumstances really have completely … They are really intensified in the last hour since we last talked.”
Earlier in the program Adil had asked him: 'Are you safe there? It looks horrible. '
Nick shot back: 'We are in a relatively safe area, but the winds are picking up, they wind feasts more than 65 mph. Today's conditions will be really intense to say the least. '

Dixon said that he and his crew were 'relatively safe', but joked: 'I could do well enough with a coffee'
Dougie Beattie on GB News must have appreciated the irony because he told the viewers: 'Really: Don't go out today if you don't have to do that'
GMB viewers were not impressed by the risks that Nick took to report on the weather on the front line.
The Office Van Mo has given rare 'red' weather warnings for wind in the center of Scotland and Noord -Ireland – which indicates a serious danger to life.
“Shame about GMB that send reporters in it,” a viewer replied to X.
'How irresponsible! You don't have to be outside to show us how bad the weather is, go inside, “said another.
And a third asked: “We know it is windy – why the life of the reporter risk letting him and the crew stand outside the sea?”
Dixon is one of the countless correspondents who have braved the weather – whether or not by choice – to deliver the latter about one of the most furious storms in recent memory.
Sky News Science correspondent Thomas Moore described 'an extraordinary cacophony of sound' as he reported from Portrush in North Ireland.
And the correspondent Thomas Murphy of the canal said that his hotel window was 'sucked away' around 2 am and that tiles were torn off the roof.
“It caused considerable damage in the Republic of Ireland,” said a visibly uncomfortable Dougie Beattie on GB News, his face chatty and red of the storm in North Ireland.
'Transport is … there is no public transport, boats have been canceled, flights in and from Noord -Ireland are currently being canceled at the moment.
'Even in the last five, 10 minutes that come in iOS, the sea actually ride the top of the harbor wall behind me. Boats in the harbor that have been left behind are absolutely damaged. '
Good Morning Britain viewers were not impressed by the decision of the program to send reporters into the storm of the century
Stephen Murphy Sky News clung to his hat when he told that the window in his hotel room was 'sucked out' by the strong wind
This warning was sent to the mobile phones of nearly five million inhabitants of the UK last night using the emergency alarm system of the government
The weather presenter added, probably with a certain degree of irony: 'We have had warnings on our phones that told us not to go out. Really: don't go out today if you don't have to. '
Almost five million Britons received warnings for their phones last night and advised them to stay indoors and used the government's emergency alarm system to send the noisy notification.
De Alert read: 'A red warning for wind has been issued. It is expected that extremely strong wind associated with Storm Éowyn will cause a considerable disruption of 10 am on Friday, January 24, 2025.
'Strong wind can pose a danger to life, causing flying debris, falling trees and large waves around coastal areas.
'Stay indoors if you can. It is unsafe to drive in these circumstances. Avoid coastal areas. '
It then warns people to prepare backups for lighting and charging mobile phones in the event of a power loss.
