BBC Breakfast shared a heartbreaking story on Tuesday after a young woman’s tragic death
BBC Breakfast star Sally Nugent made an emotional announcement on Tuesday (February 10), as a guest was left in tears.
The latest edition of the hit morning programme saw Sally deliver the latest news from across the UK and around the world, while her co-star Jon Kay shared political updates live from Downing Street.
Sally was joined in the Salford studio by Carol Kirkwood, who delivered regular weather forecasts, while John Watson handled the sports segment.
Later in the show, Sally announced the death of a 21-year-old, who sadly passed away from sepsis six years ago. Bethan James’s grieving parents are now campaigning for better training to diagnose one of the UK’s biggest killers.
“The parents of a young woman from Cardiff who died after sepsis wasn’t spotted early enough are calling for better training to diagnose the condition,” Sally said.
“Bethan James was 21 when she died six years ago after life-saving treatment was delayed. It comes as a BBC investigation finds sepsis awareness training is still not mandatory at most hospitals in Wales, despite being one of the UK’s biggest killers.”
A pre-recorded segment was then played, in which Bethan’s parents emotionally recounted their daughter’s symptoms.
