BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker was called out by viewers on Twitter today for his interview with Tory politician Michael Gove.
Many moaned about the interview – calling it “claptrap” and “vomit-induing”.
The criticism came after Dan, 43, slammed Twitter users making cruel jokes about Boris Johnson while he’s in hospital with coronavirus symptoms.
Hitting out at Dan today, one Twitter user raged: “Just wish BBC host Dan Walker would hold Tory politicians to account as much as he holds scared and angry members of the public.”
While another added: “More sycophantic claptrap from Dan Walker interviewing Gove on BBC.”
A third chimed in: “Dan Walker really is a complete and utter bootlicker isn’t he? Vomit inducing sycophancy toward the very people who’ve knowingly created this crisis.”

Despite this, Dan still did have his fans. One gushed: “Dan Walker you are and always have been a total gentleman. I have seen some awful, evil comments on Twitter. We are all in this together.”
Mr Gove also suffered an unfortunate technical error during the chat.
As he was talking to Walker, Gove disappeared from the BBC One show shortly.
Instead, a logo with the word ‘paused’ appeared on-screen as Mr Gove’s voice could be heard over the top.
However, just moments later, the image of Mr Gove returned.

Earlier, Dan furiously told his Twitter followers to “show some class” after making unkind comments about the PM’s illness.
He tweeted: “For those sending around vile jokes about the Prime Minister in ICU… please remember the words of The Queen last night.
“‘I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge.’ Show some class.”
