Overview

  • A technical failure during a live BBC Breakfast segment interrupted the virtual interview with Ed Lennox of Clean Up Britain.
  • Lennox reported hearing only every third word before audio dropouts ended the connection.
  • Presenters Naga Munchetty and Ben Thompson issued on-air apologies and attempted multiple reconnections.
  • After failed retries, the hosts confirmed the interview was unsalvageable and moved on to other content.
  • The intended segment had highlighted a £15 million clean-up of illegal dumping in Kent woodlands, illustrating the scale of fly-tipping challenges in the UK.
