Sally Nugent and Jon Kay delivered the latest headlines on Wednesday’s episode of BBC Breakfast
The hosts of BBC Breakfast announced two tragic deaths on Wednesday (February 25), as guests choked back tears.
Today’s edition of the hit morning programme was hosted by Sally Nugent and Jon Kay, who delivered the latest headlines from across the UK and around the world.
They were joined in the studio by Carol Kirkwood, who presented regular weather forecasts, while John Watson handled the sports segment. Peter Ruddick was also on screen to present the latest energy price cap figures, as well as discussing the rise of fly tipping.
During the show, Sally and Jon marked the fourth anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, before announcing two heartbreaking deaths that were caused by the conflict.
“Thousands of people have died on both sides, both soldiers and civilians. For many of us, the conflict probably feels very far away, but for two Cornish families, it’s very close to home,” Sally said.
Jon added: “Their sons travelled to Ukraine and were killed by Russian forces.” Footage of the parents was then played, with the grieving families choking back tears as they spoke about their sons.
