BBC Breakfast sparked controversy on Tuesday with a segment encouraging viewers to submit puns. While hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent enjoyed the lighthearted moment, some viewers criticized the show for prioritizing jokes over serious news, such as the ongoing farmers' protest.
BBC Breakfast regulars were underwhelmed by a segment showcased on Tuesday's programme. Hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent were back at the helm to present the latest headlines.
However, Jon and Sally's amusement at the audience's humour didn't translate to all, as some BBC watchers voiced their disapproval online. Additional comments saw one user remark: "#BBCBreakfast We haven't done any journalism today, so please send in your favourite puns. " Another playfully contributed: "@BBCBreakfast As you're covering jokes today—My dog was doing so well in the Tour de France til the Chien came off," as reported by the Express.
"Jokes are normally only read out when the Edinburgh festival is on. Now they're used anytime as filler for this joke of a programme. #bbcbreakfast," observed a different spectator.
