Mike Rigby was ITV’s 2018 programme editor and spent an hour stuck in a lift, going up-and-down non-stop. 

Paul Brand (ITV Political Correspondent) shared the footage via his Twitter feed. 

He stated that Mike Rigby, our Programme Editor, has been riding in the lift up and down for over half an hour now with no signs of escape.

“The Bulletin Tonight could not be as sparse without his #upanddown LIFTing.

The ‘Lift Contractor has been called out. We are working to free him, I swear!

Then he said, “Almost an hour now…Hope he doesn’t need a shave.” He added, “Almost an hour now…Hope he doesn’t need to wee.”

“He doesn’t want to talk to media right now and requests that his privacy is respected.” #freeMike.’
