During Monday's instalment of the BBC chat show, disgruntled fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to vent about Sally, 53, and Jon's, 54, presenting skills.
Claiming that they both talk down to their audience, one angry viewer commented: '#bbcbreakfast with Jon Kay and Sally Nugent wouldn't be out of place on CBeebies. They present it as if it's the news for young kids.' While another viewer raged: '#bbcbreakfast this is news for 5 year olds.
Silly Sally using that stupid voice again. This is more like Play School Breakfast TV.' Meanwhile a third chimed in: "Lasted 2 minutes on #bbcbreakfast before having to switch off.
Sally what’s her face with her sad, sympathy voice and woke nonsense. Just makes me want to vomit. It’s 8am Monday.
Liven up and be more positive. Christ it’s depressing day after day. Sob story after sob story.
" Raging BBC Breakfast viewers 'switched off their TVs two minutes into the show' as they slammed Sally Nugent and Jon Kay for 'talking to viewers at home like children' During Monday's instalment of the BBC chat show, Disgruntled fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter to vent about Sally, 53, and Jon's, 54, presenting skills During the episode model Chloe Ayling, 27, told the BBC how people still call her a liar seven years after she was kidnapped. Chloe's ordeal began in July 2017 when she was lured from London to Italy on the promise of a photo shoot by Lukasz Herba, who drugged her and took her to a remote farmhouse in a holdall bag.

He released her to the British consulate in Milan six days later. However, Chloe faced years of doubts about her ordeal with people accusing her of faking her abduction, profiting from it and being involved in a publicity stunt. She said: 'I feel like my voice was never heard back then and it was really overpowered by negativity on maybe how I dressed or presented myself or the fact I wasn't emotional.
' 'So I'm glad that it can be just laid out and the facts can be shown visually so that people can understand such a complex story.' Chloe's story is being told in a new six-part BBC series, Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story. The series, which follows Chloe's experience being kidnapped and the media storm that followed, is based on police interviews, court transcripts and personal accounts - with some scenes created for dramatic purposes.
Admitting that they both 'present the news' as if it's for young children, one angry viewer commented: '#bbcbreakfast with Jon Kay and Sally Nugent wouldn't be out of place on CBeebies' It comes after BBC Breakfast saw two presenters replaced in yet another hosting shake-up - but it was 'breathtaking' Carol Kirkwood who stole the show in a figure-hugging blue dress. The programme's Monday to Wednesday presenters John Kay and Sally Nugent were nowhere to be found last week, as the breakfast show continued making changes for the Olympics . Instead, Ben Thompson and Sarah Thompson took the helm on the red sofa to read the top stories.
But, they were shown up by weatherwoman Carol, 62, who looked incredible in a fitted blue dress with mid-length sleeves. Viewers descended on X, formerly Twitter , to compliment Carol's look, gushing: 'Breathtaking in blue. Wow.
' They continued: 'Looking absolutely gorgeous'; 'Bonnie, blue, beauty Carol'; 'Very pretty'. Elsewhere on the show, model Chloe Ayling, 27, told BBC how people still call her a liar seven years after she was kidnapped by Lukasz Herba, who said she would be sold online if she could not provide a $300,000 (approximately £230,000) ransom fee She said: 'I feel like my voice was never heard back then and it was really overpowered by negativity on maybe how I dressed or presented myself or the fact I wasn't emotional' And that was not the only change - the BBC’s coverage of the Olympic Games began at 6:45am on BBC One, which meant BBC Breakfast was forced to switch to BBC Two mid-broadcast. The breakfast show followed the same format last week and had been criticised for cutting out vital segments like the local news and weather reports.
Furthermore, Ben's replacement John is normally paired with Luxmy Gopal, rather than Sarah. Sally, 52, was replaced at the end of July , with Jon, 54, presenting with Nina Warhurst (right) instead. It came just a day after fans of the show were left livid as Ben Thompson stood in for Jon on Tuesday.
BBC Breakfast failed to mention why Sally was missing on the show. However, despite the change - some viewers felt Nina did a great job as she spoke about the tragic stabbings in Southport as part of the headline news. It comes after BBC Breakfast saw two presenters replaced in yet another hosting shake-up last week - but it was 'breathtaking' Carol Kirkwood, 62, who stole the show in a figure-hugging blue dress The programme's Monday to Wednesday presenters Jon and Sally were nowhere to be found as the breakfast show continued making changes for the Olympics Instead, Ben Thompson and Sarah Thompson (pictured) took the helm on the red sofa and read Tuesday's top stories Only days before, the programme was again pulled from BBC One halfway through the show moving to BBC Two to make way for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games coverage.
But the show being cut short and downgraded to a smaller channel wasn't all that made fans fume. Fans branded the interview segment 'disgraceful and disappointing,' claiming that Ben addressed the politician with an 'aggressive tone'. The Chancellor was on the current affairs programme to talk about her decision to end winter fuel payments to millions of pensioners not on pension credit or other means-tested benefits, amongst other topics.
