Carol, 75, was explaining which seeds are best to plant now in time to grow veg in time for summer, as she spoke from her garden in North Devon.

But the adorable dog wanted to be near its owner and trotted up to her as she spoke to Alison and Dermot.

With a handful of beetroot seeds, Carol politely said: "Can you move out of the way slightly please. This way. Thank you!"

Using her arm she pushed Beefy, who stumbled onto his back.

Another said: "Poor wee dog #ThisMorning"
