BBC Breakfast guest speechless as presenter walks off camera mid-interview
BBC Breakfast fans were shocked to see the Sports correspondent Mike Bushall walk off during his interview with gymnast Dominic Cunningham while they were chatting about the Commonwealth games on Saturday (30 July ).
The BBC star rushed off leaving Dominic to present the show.
Mike interviewed gymnast Dominic about his Commonwealth victory four years ago.

Dominic said: "Honestly, it's one of the best times of my life.
"It's a memory, not just me, but my family, [as I] managed to get my family over there [the last time].
"We're not from the best background, but we managed to get over there to watch it and came back with a gold medal.
"It's something that I'm going to treasure for a very, very long time and being here in Birmingham now it's such a different experience."
Mike responded: "The last time we had a meeting on the beach, didn't we? And now we're on the concrete."
"I was a bit nervous about seeing Dominic today because literally four years ago after Dominic won gold and the team won gold, we met on a beach and Dominic wanted to celebrate at the end.
"And so you got us all doing somersaults, but that was on the sand, that was on the beach. You took over presenting as well, didn't you? But we are on concrete now."
He then said: "Mike, Mike… Don't do this to me."
But Mike added: "I'm off, I've got to go, I've got to get ready…"
Dominic said: "He always does this to me."
Yesterday (2 August) BBC Breakfast once again descended into chaos on Tuesday (August 2) as host Ben Thompson warned things will "end badly" when a key procedure was skipped.
Mike Bushell was reporting live from the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham with weightlifter Chris Murray, who scooped the gold medal in the 81kg lift.
But things quickly took a turn when Mike allowed Chris to lift him into the air – something which couldn't be broadcast live on the programme for insurance reasons.
Instead, Mike posted a cheeky snap to his social media pages of him being hoisted up by Chris, with Sally quipping that things would surely end badly.
Host Ben Thompson told a red-faced Mike: "Mike, I spied this morning that on your social media, Chris has been lifting more than weights this morning. Do you wanna have a look at Mike's social media?"
Clearly unsure what to say, Mike responded: "Er, yeah, he did, erm, give me a little lift. But I'm like a feather compared to…"
Ben then joked: "Yeah and there's too many wires [in between you now]!"
Mike told Ben and Sally: "Yeah, it was no problem for him! Have a look at the social media, you can see!"
BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
