Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty were back on the red sofa to present Thursday’s BBC Breakfast.
BBC Breakfast’s Charlie Stayt paused the show on Thursday to issue a “upsetting” warning to viewers ahead of a health segment. Charlie and Naga Munchetty were back on the iconic red sofa to bring viewers the latest news headlines.
Introducing the news segment, Charlie began: “Time now is 6.15am. A woman who spent her life savings of £21,000 to have her vaginal mesh removed in an operation in the US says she could no longer wait for surgery in Northern Ireland.”
Naga continued: “And it’s emerged that other women have been waiting years for similar procedures in Belfast, and the Health Trust responsible has apologised to all of those who were waiting and left in pain.”
Before moving to the segment, Charlie paused to issue a warning to viewers: “Warning, this report may be upsetting for some viewers. Our health correspondent Mary Louise Connolly has the latest.”
As a video played, reporter Mary shared Slyvia’s heartbreaking story. She said in a voiceover: “Sylvia had vaginal mesh implants in 2014 to treat urinary stress incontinence. But last year, she started to have extreme pains, especially when passing urine. One particular episode left her traumatised.”

Sylvia could be seen breaking down in tears as she opened up about the distress it had caused her.
“My family was down from Belfast after Christmas…” she began to say before breaking down.
“Sorry. I sat up in my bathroom for, I would say, a good 45 minutes, and when I went to the toilet, the bowl was just full of blood and debris.
“The pain was excruciating, I thought I was going to pass out, and I didn’t want to shout down on my family because I just felt I was a burden.”
BBC Breakfast: Sylvia recalled her traumatic experience
After showing the piece of mesh that she had passed, Sylvia was told she could have a long wait to be seen by doctors.
Elsewhere in the show, Naga and Charlie were joined by Liberal Democrats leader Sir Ed Davey, to discuss the Government’s plan to ban smoking in pub gardens, outdoor restaurants, and sports grounds.
In another segment, they invited Dr Merav Kliner from the UK Health Security Agency into the studio as health officials are urging parents in England to ensure their children are up to date with any missed vaccinations before they return to school.
