Rod Stewart is trading rock ‘n’ roll for swing music after completing his extensive 2023 tour, he said in a recent interview with BBC Breakfast. Watch the clip below.

“I’m not retiring,” Stewart said to BBC host Charlie Stayt. “I’ve just done a swing album with Jools Holland, which is going to come out next year, so I want to go in that direction. I just want to leave all the rock ‘n’ roll stuff behind — for a while, maybe.”

Stewart, while sitting next to upcoming tourmate Boy George, expressed excitement and anticipation for the career pivot, adding that he’s “really looking forward to doing something else” and how his forthcoming work with Jools Holland’s band “borders on rock ‘n’ roll anyway, it’s just not ‘Maggie May’ and ‘Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?'”

It’s not the first time Stewart has mentioned a desire for genre change.

BBC Breakfast viewers have accused the show of “scaremongering against” forthcoming teacher strikes.

Teachers in England and Wales are staging walkouts next month after union members voted in favour of striking over pay.

Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt welcomed Gráinne Hallahan, a senior analyst for Times Education Supplement, onto the series to discuss the subject.

However, viewers expressed disapproval of the angle of the segment and certain phrases used by the hosts, one of which saw Stayt describe the action as teachers “not turning up” for work.

“Not sure I like the phrase teachers not turning up from Charlie Stayt, which makes it sound casual rather than a difficult decision to go on strike,” @Stillteachers wrote.

Others questioned Munchetty’s comments, which saw her refer to the “massive disruption” striking may cause parents and children.

“The issue is it is massive disruption for parents and for children, obviously – their education being disrupted,...

It’s 10.25am on a Friday morning and I’m starting to worry. I was supposed to start interviewing Naga Munchetty, the matter-of-fact, pixie-haired star of BBC Breakfast, just under an hour ago. But no one can track her down. Between 6am and quarter past nine, her face was beamed into living rooms and kitchens across the country; now she’s nowhere to be seen. At 10.29am, the publicist emails me. I’ll be on the phone with Munchetty in 10 minutes. The presenter comes on the line apologising profusely: she left her phone, with all her appointments on it, on her hall table when she left for the Salford studio this morning. Mystery solved. I had started to fret a little. “Oh no, I’m fine,” she says, laughing. “I’m just stupid.” She says sorry. Again. “There’s nothing worse than flaky interviewees not turning up.”

The 47-year-old journalist...

BBC Breakfast host Charlie Stayt was left red in the face after showing footage of rugby player Kevin Sinfield urinating on a wall.

Former Leeds Rhinos player Sinfield is undertaking a gruelling challenge of completing seven ultramarathons in seven days to raise money for motor neurone disease charities.

The challenge will amount to 482 kilometres, with Sinfield having already raised more than £600,000.

During Saturday (19 November) morning’s BBC Breakfast, the team caught up with a live stream of Sinfield as he continued on the final day of the challenge, running from West Yorkshire to the Rugby League World Cup Final at Old Trafford.

“We have a camera on board a bike, it’s the first time we have done this, we have set him off every morning and we wave goodbye,” host Stayt said, as the screen changed to footage of the run labelled the “Kev Cam”.

“We don’t really know how it works,...

The actor Brian Cox and the professor Brian Cox have come face-to-face on BBC Breakfast.

The star of Succession and the physicist shared a sofa on Friday morning’s (18 November) episode of the morning show.

The pair told host Charlie Stayt that their identical names have led to a number of awkward incidents, one of which had happened the night before.

Actor Cox said they found themselves at the centre of a hotel room mix-up, and that he and Professor Cox almost ended up sharing a room.

He said: “Last night was very confusing when he arrived to the hotel and said there was two Brian Coxes so they said, ‘You’ve got two rooms.’

“He said, ‘No, I think there’s two Brian Coxes,’ and the hotel said, ‘We can’t have two Brian Coxes.’”

The academic chimed in: “They wouldn’t check me in! I had to change my name.

Lewis Capaldi left Naga Munchetty red in the face following an awkward mix-up on BBC Breakfast.

The “Someone You Loved” singer appeared on the morning programme on Saturday (24 September), during which he complimented co-host Charlie Stayt on his “great hair”.

“Can I just say, you’ve got great hair. We were talking about it outside,” Capaldi said, with Munchetty mouthing: “It’s a wig.”

“It’s a wig, is it? I didn’t say that. Looks great,” Capaldi said.

“Well you’ve got great hair too,” Stayt replied, with Capaldi offering him a high five.

“Would you like a room?” Munchetty said, with a surprised looking Capaldi asking: “Would I what?”

After she repeated herself, Capaldi said: “I thought you said ‘a rim’.”

Munchetty gasped and covered her face in embarrassment, saying: “The time now, we’re coming on to nine o’clock... We’re going to have a little word with Lewis.

The BBC has ruled that presenter Naga Munchetty broke new social media guidelines after liking a series of tweets about a row involving the union jack flag, but she has escaped punishment after swiftly owning her mistake.

The BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit said in a ruling that Munchetty was wrong to like tweets that were “disparaging of the government’s use of patriotic symbols” after an on-air discussion on March 18, in which she and Breakfast co-host Charlie Stayt jibed government minister Robert Jenrick about the union jack flag in the back of his Zoom shot.

The Ecu said Munchetty “risked giving the impression of endorsing one strand of opinion in a controversial area” and her activity was “in breach of the BBC’s standards of impartiality as they apply to social media activity by BBC staff engaged in journalism and factual programming.”

The complaints unit stopped short of recommending punishment for the presenter,...

Lady Gaga’s famous ‘poker face’ was on full display Friday.

Well, it's safe to say that we now know where Ryan Gosling stands on texting. The actor was in the middle of an interview promoting his directorial debut, Lost River, when he received a text message that completely caught him off guard. The new father had begun to answer BBC Breakfast's Charlie Stayt's question when a loud beep went off, prompting the actor to mutter, "Oh my God. I'm sorry about that." Without any hesitation, Gosling chucked his cellphone to a member of his team and didn't make any attempts to even see who the message was from. "I'm ashamed," he added, before continuing to apologize to the interviewer. When asked whether or not...

She will be presenting with Stayt from Thursday to Saturday, while Turnbull and Minchin will continue to host from Monday to Wednesday.

Everybody's favourite plasticine TV star Morph lost his head during an appearance on BBC Breakfast this morning (July 2).

Presenter Charlie Stayt accidentally stepped on a model of the famous character, and owned up to his mistake live on air.

He explained: "I did accidentally step on Morph a little earlier on. He was behind the desk here and I stepped on him.

"He lost his head and it's down here," he said, as he stuck Morph's head back onto his body.

"For everybody at home, it's not the real Morph," co-host Louise Minchin assured viewers.

The presenters had been creating their own Morph models to celebrate the show's return to screens, over 30 years after it was created by Peter Lord.

New episodes of Morph will premiere on YouTube on Friday (July 4) at 5.15pm.

Not to worry, though, because Mike Batt offered him a record deal live on BBC Breakfast and his debut album Performance is out tomorrow. You see? Crazy! Bob chatted to Digital Spy about his surprising journey...

"I was working in a chilled warehouse before The Voice. You'd start at six in the morning, and you'd get an order that you'd have to go and complete by walking through the different aisles and picking up different things. I'd do that for ten hours a day - it was a long day."

"My daughter Joanne applied for The Voice for me online. I started doing pubs and clubs in 2007 and I used to practise songs in the bedroom, and Joanne used to come up and use the PC,...
