BBC suffers sound issues as loud noise interrupts Breakfast show
The 40-year-old admitted that the BBC had problems with their sound quality after viewers complained about a high-pitched noise.
While Dan and co-host Naga Munchetty, 42, discussed stories in today’s papers their coverage was hit with sound problems.
Viewers at home picked up on the screeching noise and took to Twitter to air their frustration.
One fumed: “Who the hell in your company is responsible for technology? Mo [Farah] shambles on SPOTY, constant noise in background today. Good job you aren’t a real company that has to be efficient to survive!”

“What is that CONSTANT BEEPING on @BBCBreakfast?,” questioned another, while a third wrote: “Could you sort the beeping out @BBCBreakfast, please?”
Seemingly aware of the dismay amongst viewers, Dan took to Twitter to reassure them that the sound issue would be seen to, writing: “Morning. Sorry about the high-pitch noise in the studio. If you can hear it... don’t panic... we’re sorting it.”
This comes just days after BBC Breakfast was slammed by viewers for a huge onscreen blunder.
Fans of the show picked up on the embarrassing mistake during the BBC’s coverage of 70-year-olds last week.

BBC Breakfast makes spelling error during exercise segment
As presenter John Maguire quizzed the elderly on their physical health a statistic flashed up on the screen, which read: “78 per cent excercise”(sic).
It was the misspelling of "exercise" that infuriated viewers at home, with one writing: “‘Excercise’!!!! Really? No editorial input, or is it the editor who can’t spell?”(sic)
Others pointed out the correct spelling, with one posting: “@BBCBreakfast that’s not how you spell ‘exercise’,” while a fourth wrote: “BBCBreakfast please learn to spell! #exercise.”
BBC Breakfast airs weekdays on BBC One at 6am.
