BBC Breakfast’s Nina Warhurst tells off her co-star for “saying the c-word” just minutes into the show, saying “I can’t believe it!”

BBC Breakfast’s Nina Warhurst has hit out at co-star Ben Thompson for using the “f-word” live on air just minutes into the final live show.

Ben and Sarah Campbell were sitting on the famous red sofa when Nina joined them to discuss Buy Now, Pay Later plans during Wednesday’s episode.

During the segment, Nina informed viewers that Debt charities and the new Labour government are calling for tougher rules to be put in place to protect those who use the scheme.

As the conversation was coming to a close, Ben said: “It’s really important and dare I say it, people will be thinking about Christmas presents and things like that, won’t they, and spending now and maybe spreading it out over time.”

Nina joked: “I can’t believe you mentioned the c-word. It’s August.”

Ben and Sarah Campbell were sitting on the famous red sofa when Nina joined them to discuss their Buy Now, Pay Later plans during Wednesday’s episode.

Ben added: “It’s not that long,” and Nina joked: “Someone is more organized than me.”

This comes after BBC Breakfast saw two presenters replaced in another presenting shuffle on Tuesday.

The Monday to Wednesday show’s presenters John Kay and Sally Nugent were nowhere to be seen as the breakfast show continues to make changes for the Olympics.

Instead, Ben Thompson and Sarah Thompson took the helm on the red couch and read out Tuesday’s top stories.

And that wasn’t the only change: the BBC’s coverage of the Olympics began at 6:45am on BBC One, meaning the BBC’s breakfast show was forced to switch to BBC Two mid-broadcast.

The breakfast show followed the same format last week and had been criticised for removing vital segments such as local news and weather reports.

Additionally, Ben’s replacement, John, is usually paired with Luxmy Gopal, rather than Sarah.

This comes after Sally, 52, was replaced in late July by Jon, 54, who performed alongside Nina Warhurst (right).

This comes just a day after fans of the show were left furious when Ben Thompson replaced Jon on Tuesday.

The show’s Monday-Wednesday hosts John Kay and Sally Nugent were not present on Tuesday as the breakfast show continues to make changes for the Olympics.

And that wasn’t the only change: the BBC’s coverage of the Olympics began at 6:45am on BBC One, meaning the BBC’s breakfast show was forced to switch to BBC Two mid-broadcast.

This comes after Sally, 52, was replaced at the end of July by Jon, 54, who will appear alongside Nina Warhurst (right).

BBC Breakfast did not mention why Sally was not on Wednesday’s show.

However, despite the change, some viewers felt Nina did a great job when she spoke about the tragic stabbings in Southport as part of the main news.

Just days earlier, the programme had been pulled from BBC One again mid-run and moved to BBC Two to make way for coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

But the fact that the show was cut and shrunk to a smaller channel wasn’t the only thing that had fans angry.

Fans called the interview segment “embarrassing and disappointing” as they claimed Ben addressed the politician in an “aggressive tone.”

The Chancellor was on the current affairs programme to discuss her decision to end winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners who do not receive pension credit or other means-tested benefits, among other issues.

BBC Breakfast airs daily on BBC One at 6:00am
