Reporter descends Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth on live TV

A BBC reporter has become the 50,000th person to abseil down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth.

John Maguire undertook the challenge live on BBC Breakfast earlier, descending 100m (330ft) down the 170m (560ft) landmark.

The tower, which marks its 20th anniversary in October, has had more than five million visitors since it opened.

As he descended, Maguire told viewers and presenters Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty: “You get the most extraordinary view… I must say it is rather disconcerting.”
