presenter Alex Lovell proved to be an absolute hero as she climbed onto a roof to save a baby bird, moments before going on air.

In a clip shared to , the newsreader was captured climbing up a ladder on to the BBC Bristol studios’ roof, where she rescued the helpless creature.

Clearly aware it could be a possible safety issue, Alex joked, as she climbed up the ladder: ‘Disclaimer, I won’t sue anybody.’

She then clambered up, over the gutter pipes, into the corner of the building where a bird could be heard squealing.

A second after Alex disappeared from view, a bird could be seen flapping about, which she swiftly picked up and set free.

As the bird flew away, Alex raised her hands to the rounds of applause coming from the crew below.
