A huge tech blunder saw a live interview on BBC Breakfast interrupted during Saturday's (21 June) episode, with host Naga Munchetty left in an awkward situation.

Naga was back at the helm of the BBC programme alongside co-host Charlie Stayt, with the pair bringing viewers all of the latest headlines and news updates.

Dominating Saturday's headlines was the assisted dying bill, with MPs having voted to pass the bill at a third reading, meaning it will now go to the Lords. The bill will see some terminally ill people in England and Wales able to get medical help in ending their lives.

Following the news, BBC Breakfast welcomed Rebecca Wilcox, daughter of Dame Esther Rantzen, to the programme. Esther, who has terminal cancer, and her daughter have been campaigning for the assisted dying bill to come into action.

Naga introduced Rebecca, who tuned in via video call, saying: "We're joined now by Rebecca Wilcox, who is the daughter of the broadcaster and assisted dying campaigner Dame Esther Rantzen. Rebecca, good morning to you."

However, it soon became apparent that Rebecca could not hear Naga nor had she realised that the interview was underway.

"Rebecca, can you hear me? Rebecca, can you hear me?" Naga, slightly flustered, asked.

"Hello, Rebecca, can you hear me? No, I don't think so. OK. We will just restablish that line with Rebecca Wilcox, who is the daughter of Dame Esther Rantzen," the presenter added, as Rebecca disappeared from the screen.

She then added: "We've been hearing from Dame Esther Rantzen this morning, on our colleagues' The Today programme. In response to assisted dying becoming a step closer to being made legal in England."

The programme quickly moved on to the next segment, following the huge tech blunder.

A short while later, Naga and co-host Charlie announced Rebecca's interview was to resume, and she soon tuned back in via video link at her home in Woking.

During the emotional interview, Rebecca spoke about the assisted dying bill and how much it would mean to her and her family if it was eventually actioned.

"This has been hugely personal and hugely profound because of the stories that everyone has come to us with. We have been so privileged to be receptacle of their stories, of their hopes, of their wishes for the future.

"We're so grateful that they've spoken to us. So many of them, their loved one has already died an awful death," Rebecca said of the people involved in the campaign.

BBC Breakfast airs at 6am everyday on BBC One.
