BBC Breakfast viewers hit out at the programme after host Naga Munchetty spoke to the chair of Water UK following the confirmation that raw sewage has spilled directly into the UK's seas and rivers.
On Thursday, Naga and Charlie Stayt told BBC Breakfast viewers that Water UK, a membership body representing the UK water industry, apologised on behalf of companies across England for not doing more to tackle the problem.
Water UK has claimed to invest £10billion over the next 10 years to help solve the issue and consequences of the problem.
