BBC Breakfast experienced an uncomfortable moment when a guest was chastised for using a ‘problem’ word on the show.

In the latest episode, presented by Charlie Stayt and Nina Warhurst, they invited poet Laura Mucha to create a poem inspired by BBC Breakfast with the help of local school children.

Laura appeared in the studio after her poem was aired to discuss the creative process. She revealed: “Well, it’s about having ideas but also doing your research because I was conscious that not everybody watches BBC Breakfast” leaving host Nina, 43, shocked as she exclaimed: “What?”

Laura elaborated: “So we may have had a call with a presenter to do some research and we may have spoken to some producers about some of the things that happen.”

“Some of the kids were very interested about what happens if you fart live on TV but I don’t think that made it into the video! ” This led Charlie, 62, to respond: “Or even what happens when you say that word on live TV because that’s also a problem!” reports the Express.

The guest looked visibly concerned at Charlie’s comment, prompting Nina to quickly comfort her, saying: “It’s not, it’s not, it could be a problem if it did happen! ” while Charlie couldn’t help but smirk at his own teasing reprimand.

This incident follows BBC Breakfast host Jon Kay stopping himself mid-sentence during Tuesday’s programme to check with colleague Sally Nugent if he was permitted to bring up a certain topic on air.

During the show, presenters Jon, 54, and Sally, 53, delved into a discussion about Worcestershire Sauce and its role in cocktails. Jon expressed his fondness for the sauce, specifically in a Bloody Mary: “I do, in a Bloody Mary! “.

Quickly realizing the time of day, Jon worriedly questioned if he could mention alcoholic beverages so early, asking: “Am I even allowed to say that at this time of the morning?”

Sally immediately reassured her colleague with a chuckle, saying: “You are and you just did! You’re definitely allowed.”

In other news, beloved BBC Breakfast weather presenter Carol Kirkwood, 62, made a welcome comeback to the show after a substantial break. Following her three-week absence spent on holiday, Carol jumped back into action with the latest weather forecasts.

Carol brought attention to some less-than-ideal weather conditions upon her Monday return (September 23), alerting viewers through X: “The Met Office has an AMBER ‘be prepared’ warning in force today, across parts of central and southern England. Disruption is possible. There has already been some flooding @BBCBreakfast xx.”

Despite having to deliver grim weather news, fans were ecstatic over Carol’s return to BBC Breakfast. On her X account, a simple “good morning” greeting was met with joyous responses from her followers.
