<p>The show’s presenters were among 50 people evacuated as more than 20 firefighters tackled the blaze at the building on London’s Southbank.</p>
<p>Nobody was injured but viewers were left confused as old celebrity interviews were re-run followed by an episode of Dinner Date.</p>
<p>A spokesman for London Fire Brigade (LFB) said the fire was caused by an “electrical fault” in an office area of the building.</p>
<p>He said there had been damage to electrical leads as “something heavy” had been put on top.</p>
<p>The show was taken off-air last August when another fire caused the studios to be evacuated.</p>
<p>At the time, a member of staff said the fire occurred when a ”fuse box overheated and went on fire on the third floor”, which is where GMB is filmed.</p>
<p>Presenter Ben Shephard tweeted that it was unlikely the show would make it to the air as the cast and crew took refuge in a nearby restaurant that opened early to accommodate them.</p>
<p>Ben, Kate Garraway and Ranvir Singh kept viewers up-to-date on what was happening from outside the studios.</p>
<p>In a video on Twitter, Kate said: “There’s five or six fire engines so they’re treating it very seriously, which is comforting, isn’t it?”</p>
<p>Ranvir added: “It’s quite a big incident. We’re apologising to you because we’re meant to be on air giving you lots of interesting stuff to sort your Good Friday.”</p>
<p>Ben posted a photo of the women posing with firemen from Soho Blue Watch, writing: “Every cloud!”</p>
<p>Accompanying a video of the two trying on firemen’s hats, he added: “Think Kate Garraway and Ranvir Singh think they’re on a hen do!”</p>
<p>An ITV spokesman said: “London Fire Brigade attended our offices at London Television Centre on the Southbank this morning as a result of a fire which started in a first floor office at around 6.50am.</p>
<p>“There were no injuries but the building was evacuated and Good Morning Britain was off-air with replacement programming broadcast. Scheduled programming resumed just after 8.30am.”</p>
<p>The fire brigade was called at just before 7am and the blaze was under control at just after 8.40am.</p>
<p>Station manager Rod Vitalis said: “Firefighters did extremely well to contain the fire to a post room on the first floor. Thankfully no one was injured and 50 people evacuated safely.”</p>
<p>When the incident was over, GMB tweeted: “Pleased to report we’re all safely back inside the building and no one was harmed. Thanks for all your lovely messages! Back Monday at 7am.”</p>
