BBC BREAKFAST star Jon Kay was called out by co-star Sally Nugent for a “mean” remark aimed at a fellow BBC star.
Jon and Sally presented Monday’s (April 29) edition of the news programme, updating viewers around the country with the latest headlines.
The pair handed the reins over to Morning Live hosts Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones and heard what was coming up on their programme.
Previewing what viewers could expect, Helen said they would be chatting to Countryfile presenter Anita Rani.
Former Blue Peter presenter Helen explained Anita, 46, would be chatting about the ‘particular needs’ she has while filming.
Helen also made a playful joke to co-presenter Gethin, hinting he had some diva tendencies behind the scenes.
She said: “It’s like you. You’ve got to peel the grapes, you’ve got to wash your shoes in a clockwise motion, you’ve got to play Taylor Swift as he walks in, you’ve got to list the chocolate off the biscuit.”
The mum-of-three added, “the list goes on and on” and threw her arms into the air.
Playing along with the fun, Gethin said: “And the flowers have to match my eyes. That’s not too much to ask for, is it?”
Hearing this, Jon quipped: “Red flowers, yeah?” while Sally responded, “Oh, that’s mean!”
Adding fuel to the fire, Sally suggested Gethin, 46, hadn’t taken the joke well as she said, “Notice he’s laughing? Not really. Gritted teeth.”
It comes as former BBC Breakfast Louise Minchin broke her silence about a potential return to the red sofa.
Louise, 55, served as a presenter from 2012 to 2021, appearing as a contestant in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here after her exit.
She presented alongside the likes of Dan Walker and the late Bill Turnbull during her tenure in BBC Breakfast.
