BBC Breakfast viewers fume as hosts urged 'stop speaking' to millionaire guest
Sally Nugent and Jon Kay were slammed by BBC Breakfast viewers over a segment on age reversal entrepreneur Bryan Johnson's quest for eternal youth.
On Tuesday's instalment, Sally and Jon spoke with Lara Lewington who interviewed the millionaire.

BBC Breakfast viewers weren't impressed with the light-hearted segment and took to Twitter to blast the interview.
One frustrated viewer wrote: "Why are you wasting time on this rich, deluded fool, trying to get younger? Stop speaking about him with such glee and enthusiasm. What a waste of time for you and us. And a huge waste of money by him. Pathetic."
