The morning TV industry is a cut-throat business, and the recent controversy surrounding BBC Breakfast presenter Sally Nugent's glam new look is just the tip of the iceberg. In this behind-the-scenes look at the world of morning television, we explore the toxic competitive environment fueled by the need to stay relevant and in a job. From petty acts of sabotage to intense pressure to look flawless and young, the stakes are high for everyone involved. But here's where it gets controversial...
