BBC Breakfast viewers have all said the same thing about Jon Kay after he interviewed Grant Shapps.
Jon has taken his place next to Sally Nugent on Breakfast after Dan Walker left the programme last week.
Today’s show saw him interview the Transport Secretary about pictures of Prime Minister Boris Johnson drinking with colleagues during lockdown.
However Mr Shapps insisted the PM was just ‘raising a glass’ to a departing colleague as he made his way to his apartment in Downing Street to work, and that it “wasn’t a party”.
But Jon was having none of it, and continued to hammer the politician about that as well as Boris’ meeting with Sue Gray ahead of her highly anticipated report into potential lockdown-breaking gatherings.
At one point he snapped: “It looks like a cover up” while at another point of the interview regarding the leaving drinks, he asked: “how is it not a lie?”

Many called for him to be made the permanent replacement for Dan.
One wrote on Twitter: “Nice one Jon Kay. If only more interviews were like that.”
Another added: “I’m liking Jon Kay on bbc breakfast. Anchor. Hope he stays a permanent fixture .Got bit feisty then with shappsy.”
A third tweeted: “Jon Kay absolutely NAILING this grilling of Grant Shapps [clapping emojis] ‘it looks like a mess, you lied to us’.”
Meanwhile a fourth shared: “John Kay so much more accomplished at interviewing than Dan Walker #BBCBreakfast. Can he stay?”
A fellow BBC Breakfast viewer agreed, writing: “John Kay IS the man. Has the lot of em squirming every time. Good on you fella. #BBCBreakfast.”
