Weird push messages on your BBC News App? Here's what's happening actually!

It’s a developer’s worst fear when testing some new functionality goes live somehow and this is exactly what happened to the BBC today!

BBC today sent out some weird push notifications to the its official news apps on both Android and iOS. Push notifications were inadvertently sent out to live apps on both mobile platforms with some sample text. Not sure if these texts were intended to be sent out for everyone or was it a tragedy!
It is what’s contained in these push notifications that makes this report rather humorous.

Update :
The BBC said it had not been hacked.
"We've been in the process of testing new functionality for our apps and a test message was sent in error this morning," a spokesman said.
"We apologise to our app users who were unnecessarily interrupted with the alert."
