BBC Breakfast in awkward tension as host says 'that not OK' BBC Breakfast was caught up in toe curling moment when sports presenter floated a joke that didn't sit well. On Wednesday's programme, Ben Thompson was fronting the show alongside Sarah Campbell, with the pair standing in for usual hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt , who are currently enjoying a summer break away from the programme. Viewers who have tuned in over the last week and beyond, will know that there's a fun-loving relationship had with host Ben and his co-star, sports presenter John Watson and lots of laughs and jibes often are bounced off between the pair.
Today's show was no exception either, however, John's joke just didn't sit well on this occassion. The BBC had been hailing olympics hero, 51-year-old Andy Macdonald, who is somewhat a skateboaring legend. After the segment had finished, John explained people were now calling him "Old Macdonald" but this time, his co-star Ben was not impressed.
