BBC Breakfast viewers were left scratching their heads this morning when a live interview took a bizarre turn as guest Dr. Punam Krishan suddenly vanished from screens mid-conversation.
"Where Did She Go?"
The awkward moment occurred during what appeared to be a routine video call interview about medical matters. As hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent continued their questions, the GP's image froze before completely disappearing, leaving only her name on a black screen.
"Dr. Punam Krishan has literally disappeared from our screens," remarked a bemused Kay, while co-host Nugent added: "We can still hear her though - that's the main thing."
Technical Difficulties Strike Again
The incident marks yet another technical hiccup for the flagship morning show, which has faced criticism in recent months for various on-air blunders. Viewers took to social media to share their amusement, with many joking about the BBC's ongoing battle with technology.
Despite the visual glitch, the interview continued audibly, with Dr. Krishan apparently unaware of her sudden disappearance from viewers' screens. The GP maintained her professionalism throughout, continuing to answer questions about NHS pressures.
Viewers React
Social media immediately lit up with reactions:
- "BBC Breakfast's tech gremlins strike again!" tweeted one viewer
- "The vanishing doctor - new BBC magic show?" quipped another
- "At least they didn't cut to porn this time," referenced a notorious past incident
The BBC has yet to comment on what caused the technical failure, but insiders suggest it may have been an internet connectivity issue at Dr. Krishan's end. The show quickly moved on to other segments after the interview concluded.
