Meanwhile, others slammed Sally as she interviewed Sajid Javid.

The journalist, who replaced Louise Minchin on the breakfast show, questioned the Health Secretary over self-isolation restrictions lifting.

She also quizzed him on Boris Johnson’s emergency meeting about Russia.

Following the interview, viewers took to social media to share their thoughts.

Sally previously replaced Louise on the show last year.

At the time, she shared: “I’m absolutely thrilled to become the new presenter of BBC Breakfast and bring the nation the latest news, top entertainment guests and stories that matter every week.

“It’s an honour to take the reins from Louise and be part of the UK’s most watched breakfast show.”
