Nicky Campbell is fronting the BBC’s coverage of the historic King’s Speech, as King Charles makes his first appearance at The State Opening of Parliament.
However, some Royal fans were left unconvinced by the presenter’s hosting skills.
Viewers took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to speak out on BBC Radio presenter Nicky being given a new role as commentator.
One person asked: “Where are the usual commentators on Royal events ? Nicky Campbell making a lot of mistakes , nerves I expect but so not like the BBC who are usually the most professional & slick presenters.”
Another slammed the host, writing: “Dear me, Nicky Campbell is b****y awful on this morning’s State Opening of Parliament broadcast! #StateOpening.”
A third viewer suggested BBC News presenter Clive Myrie could have been a better choice of host for the momentous broadcast, or royal correspondent for BBC News, Nicholas Witchell.
“@BBCOne Watching the State Opening of Parliament. You need a different presenter than Nicky Campbell, he doesn’t have the gravitas for this kind of thing. Clive Myrie or Nicolas Witchell would be a better choice,” they argued.
“Oh no. The verbose, self-satisfied Nicky Campbell in charge of the @BBC coverage of the State Opening of Parliament,” a fourth fan tweeted.
However, others were quick to praise the 5 Live host for his job on such an important occasion.
