I am on the birth control pill and had my break whilst I was on my period, I finished my period on saturday and had unprotected sex on sunday, could I be pregnant?

As long as you are taking your pills correctly (around the same time everyday) and as long as you started a new pill pack on time, the pill provides adequate protection against pregnancy, even during your placebo pill week. Pregnancy is unlikely and the morning after pill is unnecessary.

However, if you were supposed to start a new pill pack on Sunday and you didn’t, pregnancy is a bit more likely since you’ve extended your hormone-free period. In that case, use the morning after pill within 72 hours of the unprotected sex to reduce your risk of pregnancy.
