Watch the moment Charlie Stayt is forced to apologise to BBC Breakfast co-star Mike Bushell in painful exchange

BEMUSED viewers watched the moment Charlie Stayt was forced to apologise to his BBC Breakfast co-star Mike Bushell after a painful exchange.

The news presenter was left with egg on his face after he made a blunder on Thursday's show presenting with Naga Munchetty.

As the duo finished their news segment, they transitioned to a sports update with Mike Bushell.

Following his segment, Mike was left hanging after he signed off saying: "There we are..."

Yet the camera stayed fixed on him, prompting him to gesture to the team. Charlie quipped: "Sorry, Mike, I didn't realise you'd finished there. My apologies!"

He added: "There was a moment there I thought you were building up the momentum."

Bemused Mike retorted: "Well I could have done, I'm looking forward to what is coming next!"

But things still did not move forward, leaving the exasperated cameramen to pick up the pieces.

It was a bit of an embarrassment for the team - followed by an earlier blunder this week.

When Sally Nugent and Jon Kay presented, it came time to hand over to the weatherman, Matt Taylor, who would cover for Carol Kirkwood. Things turned frosty.

Matt attempted to display his weather charts, but a technical mishap struck and they failed to materialised.

He began the weather report with "We're flip-flopping from one extreme to another at the moment but another cold one this morning, a temperature drop through the night...."

But then as he tried to show viewers the graphics, he hit the button in vain.

He continued, "Some of the coldest spots are indeed in Scotland and Northern Ireland right now, and temperatures are down to minus five degrees."

But Matt increasingly became exasperated temporarily let down his guard for a moment and mumbled: "Let's see if we can get these charts to work; it doesn't really want to work."

Pragmatic Sally commented, "I think you would have gotten away with that if we hadn't just mentioned it."

John joked: "I think it's so cold your computer graphics have frozen. Get the de-icer out!"

Matt continued, "Tomorrow morning, it will be a cold start. I'll have details on all of that and hopefully get the graphics to work in about half an hour."
