"We had this whole programme lined up and before we knew it, Ant and Dec had burst into studio seven in television centre and basically took over the programme."Ore described that he was not sure what was going on, and in a surprise turn of events, ended up being interviewed instead."You're like, am I being interviewed by Ant and Dec? Where's the big red book Michael Aspell? That was pretty cool," he added.The star also revealed that back before the days of uploading information to the cloud and smartphones, presenters often had a painful wait for footage - which sometimes did not arrive on time - so the presenters had to improvise."There was definitely stuff that went wrong because Newsround - it's happening all on the day," said Ore.
