I went short GBP/USD twice during news releases and twice the spread went from 7 up to 20 and even 30 pips!
I talked to Oanda's support regarding their increase in the spread during news releases and all I got from him was "market condition"!
All forex brokers are dealing with the same market conditions and of course they increase the spreads but they don't double or even triple it!
