BBC Breakfast sparks backlash as 'graphic' scenes air 'too early' for furious viewers

During Sunday morning's instalment of BBC Breakfast, viewers were left up in arms after the programme decided to air graphic surgery scenes at 7:30am.

Viewers watched as patient Pinky Jolley told her story of almost dying from sepsis and having to use a feeding tube for the past two years after having treatment abroad.

The BBC then showed Pinky going under the knife for her bariatric surgery as the surgeon explained the incisions he was doing on her body.

However, fans were completely turned off and flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their views.

One unimpressed viewer penned: "graphic surgery scenes this early in a morning... yum #bbcbreakfast."

Another person expressed: " Surgery and dog s**t lovely sunday topics this morning #BBCBreakfast."

Somebody else shared their opinion: "Would have been nice if Pinky highlighted the dangers of surgery in Turkey considering we are paying for the remedial surgery #BBCBreakfast."

Yet another quipped: "You get what you pay for @BBCBreakfast CRAZY to risk your long-term health going to Turkey for surgery no matter how cheap it is….. it’s CHEAP for a reason."

While a fifth agreed: "If you go abroad for cosmetic surgery and it goes wrong that's down to you, shouldn't expect NHS to fix it #bbcbreakfast."
