Colleague comes to the rescue when BBC presenter goes into labour at work

Victoria Fritz, a presenter on BBC Breakfast, went into labour three weeks early shortly after finishing reading the news – and her colleague, Sally Nugent, stepped in and stayed with her when Fritz’s husband Dan was unable to make it due to traffic.

Nugent embodied calmness and showed that a caring workplace culture transcends the environment that it is created in. 

A BBC spokesperson said: "When Sally heard that she'd gone into labour she offered to be there until Victoria's husband got there. But her husband never arrived so she found herself at the birth."

But with the good news arises the issue of potential discrimination.
