BBC Breakfast has shared some tragic death news as a guest broke down in tears.
Friday’s (February 13) live episode was hosted by Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt, who updated viewers on the latest news from across the UK and around the world.
They were joined in the studio by Matt Taylor, who delivered regular weather updates. Meanwhile, Mike Bushell and Peter Ruddick shared the sporting news and Valentine’s Day features, respectively.
Later in the show, the hosts revealed that the Chair of the Commons Health Committee has called on the UK drug regulator to review warnings on medications which can cause impulsive behaviour as a side effect.
Naga explained: “A BBC investigation has found that for some patients, the drugs cause impulsive gambling or sexual behaviour.”
In a pre-recorded segment, BBC correspondent Noel Titheradge spoke to a man called Freddie, whose dad Bill passed away three years ago. He was prescribed medication for Parkinson’s, which had devastating side effects. Reflecting on the struggles his dad faced, Freddie soon broke down in tears in heartbreaking clips.
