One user said: “Like you and your programme, but do not believe this was a mistake. Too convenient and feels deliberate to avoid showing a Johnson mistake.”
Taking the time to go through viewers concerns, the BBC host replied to a number of fan tweets: “All I can do is tell you what I know, what I saw and the people I work with. Appreciate the tweet.”
Another fan commented: “Why are you even getting involved? It wasn’t a mistake at all. It was a deliberate attempt to protect Johnson.”
“I appreciate that’s your opinion but as someone who presents the show, knows all the staff and how we put each day together… that’s not true. Thanks,” Dan responded.
A third snapped: “Trying to give you the benefit of the doubt on this, but my skepticism just takes over.”
