'AND FINALLY...'
Hilarious moment ITV News editor ‘gets stuck in a lift going up and down non-stop for an hour’
ITV News political pundit Paul Brand took the footage at the broadcaster's central London newsroom
A TV news reporter has tweeted a hilarious video showing his boss trapped in a glass lift that went up and down for almost an hour.
ITV News political pundit Paul Brand took the uplifting footage at the broadcaster's central London newsroom.

He wrote: "Our Programme Editor Mike Rigby has currently been going up and down in a lift for half an hour with no sign of escape.
"The bulletin tonight could be sparse without his heavy LIFTing #upanddown."
"Lift contractor has been called out. On a serious note, we are trying to set him free, I promise!"
Unlucky Mr Rigby spreads his hands in exasperation and at one point lowers his head and presses his hands together as if praying to a higher power.

Mr Brand later added: "Almost an hour now... Hope he doesn't need a wee." and shortly after: "BREAKING NEWS: Mike has been freed!
"He does not wish to speak to the media at this time and asks that his privacy be respected. #freeMike."
