BBC Breakfast<\/a> descended into chaos after a technical error<\/a> interrupted the programme, forcing the host to issue a major apology to confused viewers. During Monday’s (September 15) episode, Jon Kay<\/a> and Sally Nugent<\/a> returned to the big red sofa with important information about the use of illegal car seats and the dangers surrounding them. To report on the topic and its concerning rise, they introduced reporter Emma Vardy, who said: “It’s something that trading standards have warned about before.<\/p>\n

“It’s so worrying because if you have an unsafe car seat and you’re involved in a collision, it could be deadly.” But as she tried to go into further detail and added: “Now, which are,” there was a prolonged pause, which left Emma stuttering with uncertainty. The confused host quickly looked over to the presenters in panic before stating: Sorry, I’m just going to take a moment because we’re rolling the autocue back to the top of this.” However, viewers were left unimpressed by the error and issued complaints on X, formerly Twitter, as one remarked: “Autocue has been playing up last few days #bbcbreakfast.” As a second fumed: ” Paid a fortune for reading autocue! Waste of money. #BBCBreakfast.”<\/p>\n

Pointing out an error, another viewer wrote: “‘Children under twelve or under 35cm tall’ 35 cm tall? Really. This trainee had to restart the autocue and still couldn\u2019t read it properly.”<\/p>\n

As a fourth noticed a pattern with BBC<\/a> Breakfast’s technical problems and highlighted: “The autocue was dodgy yesterday too.”<\/p>\n

“This is @BBCBreakfast for you. I blame autocue as they can\u2019t speak for themselves without autocue,” added a disgruntled fan.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Emma continued: “The investigation by Which has found that dozens of listings for unsafe car seats are for sale, and they’re warning parents not to be tempted by cheap prices.<\/p>\n

In another error, she added, “The rules around child car seats in the UK can be confusing, so here’s what the law says: children under 12 or 35 cm tall must use a car seat,” when the graphic on screen said that children under 135cm tall must use a car seat.<\/p>\n

Emma went on: “They can stop using one when they meet either of these criteria. Only EU-approved car seats can be used in the UK, with different options based on height and weight.”<\/p>\n
