HEARTBREAKING: Troubling Health Update for BBC Veteran Host Bryan Burnett!

A BBC Breakfast star has announced an extended break from the show, and viewers were not happy one bit.

Saturday’s instalment of BBC Breakfast saw Naga Munchetty, 50, and Charlie Stayt, 63, cover the day’s top headlines.

Meanwhile the Newswatch segment was covered by journalist Samira Ahmed, 57.

Newswatch covers the responses of viewers to the Beeb’s coverage of events and news.

The segment is broadcast during BBC News on Fridays at 11.30pm and on BBC Breakfast on Saturday’s at 7.45am.

At the end of Saturday’s show, which saw Samira cover the BBC’s Gaza documentary as well as coverage on the Gregg Wallace and John Torode scandal, the presenter shared an update.

Samira revealed Newswatch would be taking a break and won’t be on screens again until September.

‘We are off the air for a few weeks now, but please do continue to get in touch with us over the summer and we’ll be back with more of your thoughts about how the BBC covers news in the first week of September,’ Samira said.

However, some viewers weren’t impressed with the coverage and one noted that it was a ‘disappointing’ final instalment.

One penned on X: ‘Disappointing….and last one too.’

Another said: ‘Well, that was a waste of 10 minutes!! #BBCBreakfast.’

‘Not this again. #bbcbreakfast,’ someone else added.

It comes after another BBC presenter announced an extended break from their show after an ‘incredibly rare’ cnc3r diagnosis last month.

Bryan Burnett, 59, presents the early evening Get it On show on BBC Radio Scotland weekdays from 6pm.

The broadcaster, from Abderdeen, revealed to his listeners that he had been diagnosed with appendiceal cnc3r earlier this year.

However, some viewers weren't impressed with the coverage and one noted that it was a 'disappointing' final instalment

Appendiceal cnc3r, or appendix cnc3r, is a type of cnc3r that grows from cells in the appendix — a small finger-shaped pouch at the end of the large intestine.

Bryan will undergo treatment including chemotherapy and abdominal surgery.

While the host recovers, his step-in presenter will be Grant Stott.

Bryan said: ‘This is gonna be my last show for a wee while and I want to explain why that is.

‘Unfortunately, I’m gonna have to take some time off the show to have some treatment for cnc3r.’

He added: ‘When they removed my appendix recently, they discovered a tumour and appendix cnc3r is incredibly rare but the good news is it is treatable but I do have to have some fairly hefty abdominal surgery next week.’
