On-screen, a clip of Graham Satchell speaking to locals on the streets of London about their eating habits was played.

The duo were left stunned by one member of the public who revealed he had prunes for breakfast, a sardine salad for lunch and banana yoghurt for dinner and said: "I'm 82 and feel really fit."

In the BBC studio where the pair of presenters sat, Ben looked at Naga in disbelief and said: "He is 82!"

Naga replied: "I think that's hard to believe, isn't it? Which is only a compliment if he wants to look younger.

"Apparently, he has prunes and sardines. A good diet, sounds perfect for me." she continued.

Ben replied: "Not very interesting though is it? And that's his entire dinner".

Naga came to the man's defence and said: "He doesn't have it all the time".

A confused Ben then asked: "But wasn't that the point".

Naga then asked him: "So, you have a staple in your day don't you?"

Ben confidently replied "Yes, porridge".

Naga giggled and said: "There you go, it doesn't make you boring, does it? It's not that that makes him boring." as Ben tried to keep a straight face.

Ben continued to discuss different portion sizes, while the 48-year-old couldn't contain her laughter and kept looking down to try and compose herself.

Before passing on to weather news, Naga playfully teased: "We're going to make portion sizes discussions much more interesting later on, I promise you." as she burst out laughing.

Ben replied: "It's a really important issue."

Naga added: "Sarah, you just look fascinated by this discussion!" before handing over to co-presenter Sarah Keith-Lucas.

As their segment passed, Naga was still winding Ben up about her Boring comment, which he seemed to have taken with a pinch of salt.

BBC Breakfast is on BBC One from 6am on weekdays.
