1 NEWS political reporter Katie Bradford had a close encounter with a Mr Whippy ice cream truck while speaking to TVNZ 1's Breakfast from Waitangi today.

Ms Bradford was discussing the turnout at Te Tii when the truck eased its way into the back of the shot, turning tightly behind her on the grassed area.

Breakfast host Daniel Faitaua can be told telling her to "watch out!" and despite producers on the scene behind the camera waving frantically at the truck, it continued unfussed.

No one was harmed, but Ms Bradford did say she was briefly worried about her phone, which she had put on the ground next to her while she spoke to Breakfast.
