BBC Breakfast host Rachel Burden has apologised after a technical glitch interrupted an interview with two contestants from The Traitors. Jade and Faraaz appeared on the programme on Saturday morning (January 25) to discuss the previous night's finale, which saw Traitors Rachel and Stephen claim the prize money.
The pair joined presenters Rachel Burden and Charlie Stayt via video link from a balcony in London. However, during the conversation, the audio suddenly cut out. “Oh man! It looks like we have lost the sound, which is really frustrating,” Burden said, blaming “gremlins”.
Stayt joked that the mishap would fuel conspiracy theories, saying: “You know, you get a lot of conspiracy theories around what happened on The Traitors… what happened just then, that's going to be included in the conspiracy theories, isn't it? They were just about to say something, and then they were shut down with some key information they were going to bring out!”
After a brief pause, Burden confirmed the connection had been restored. “I think we have managed to re-establish a connection to them now,” she announced as Jade and Faraaz reappeared on screen. “Sorry about that, both of you, I don't know what gremlins were at play there!”
