BBC Breakfast presenter Jon Kay left his co-host Sally Nugent struggling to contain her laughter on Wednesday morning, after he quipped that there was “no escaping” weather presenter Carol Kirkwood. The comment came following a previous segment, with Jon remarking: “We’re there, no escape.”
Sally began giggling as Jon boldly continued: “No escape from Carol either, who’s here…” His co-presenter then stepped in to smooth things over, adding: “Or the weather! We don’t want to escape from Carol - just maybe the weather.”
The camera then cut to Carol, who was broadcasting from a location with noticeably dreary weather. Laughing, she addressed the cheeky dig: “It was the way you said that, Jon! Thanks for rescuing it, Sally.” Later in the programme, Jon made the joke again, underscoring the light-hearted nature of the exchange.
During her weather report, Carol told viewers: “This morning, once again, it’s a mild start for most of us. Except for in the North West, where we’ve had some clear skies, and as a result temperatures have tumbled.” Elsewhere in the show, fans praised the programme for covering the topic of access to migraine treatments, with one viewer calling it “amazing” to see the issue discussed ahead of a parliamentary debate.
