BBC Breakfast viewers complain about airing 'graphic' surgery scenes

Furious complaints from viewers

Some BBC Breakfast viewers were left feeling sickened after the broadcast of 'graphic' surgery scenes during a report on a botched weight loss surgery at 7.30 am on a Sunday.

Viewer reactions

The surgery showed a woman who had been on a liquid diet for three years due to a £2,000 horror surgery in Turkey. Viewers expressed their discomfort with one online comment stating, "graphic surgery scenes this early in the morning... yum."

Offer to change the channel

The BBC did provide a warning before airing the scenes and offered viewers the opportunity to switch channels if they found the content too disturbing.

Nina Warhurst's holiday antics

Meanwhile, BBC Breakfast host Nina Warhurst faced criticism for jokingly "breaking the law" during a holiday in Hereford with her family. She shared wholesome snaps and videos from their trip, including one where her child climbed over a fence with a warning sign.
