BBC Breakfast stars Jon Kay and Sally Nugent were caught off guard after a major technical mishap. 

During Tuesday’s instalment of the daytime programme, the breakfast show aired a segment on Keir Starmer, 62, however, when the camera returned to the studio, the pair were unaware they were being filmed. 

While Jon, 55, leaned back on the sofa appearing engrossed by his phone, Sally, 53, accidentally showed her list of notes to the camera as she returned to the sofa with a cup of tea. 

While the presenters usually apologise for technical errors, the pair continued presenting the show as normal when the cameras returned to the studio. 

However, the mishap wasn’t missed by viewers at home, as one person shared a screensH๏τ of the error on X, writing: ‘Ooopsie!!!’

Sharing snaps from his time in the US, he wrote: ‘Broadcasting high above the White House with the world’s media, as the USA heads to the polls.’

While in another post he reflected: ‘The sun sets on US Election Day 2024 in Washington DC. Whoever wins, history will be made.’ 

Elsewhere on the show, the hosts examined several news stories including the upcoming bill on ᴀssisted dying in Parliament, calls for Justin Welby to resign as the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Paddy McGuinness’ Ultra Endurance Cycle Challenge for Children in Need.

It comes after the show underwent another hosting shake-up on Monday as Jon was notably absent from the show.

Instead, Sally took on co-hosting duties alongside Ben Thompson, 43, who stepped in to deliver the latest headlines. 

Sally and Ben were also joined by Carol Kirkwood, 62, who presented the weather forecast. 

During the show’s segment, the dynamic duo discussed Remembrance Sunday and Keir Starmer laid a wreath as British Prime Minister for the first time. 

Jon appeared engrossed by his phone as he leant back on the iconic red sofa 

Meanwhile, Sally could be seen returning to the sofa with a brew and her notes in her hand

Unfortunately at one point, Ben was cut off by Sally, who had to correct him after an awkward blunder.

Ben managed to slip up while introducing roving reporter Jayne McCubbin, who was broadcasting from Wrexham.

He claimed she was being joined by Paddy McGuinness, 51, who was preparing for a gruelling 300-mile bike ride, which started on Monday, as part of the BBC Children In Need cycling challenge.

However, she was in fact joined by mascot Pudsey Bear, prompting Sally to quip: ‘That’s not Paddy!’

Both Ben and Jayne saw the funny side of the correction, laughing along: ‘Yes, that’s not Paddy, you’re going to chat to him in a minute!’ 

When grilled about his cycling later in the show, Paddy admitted: ‘I’m not thinking too much about Friday, I’m just getting today done, injury free and then tomorrow is another day.’

Praising his training sessions with Olympian Sir Chris Hoy, he went on: ‘Everything he has going on in his personal life but he still picks up the phone, gets me out on the bike and brutalises me.’

‘The motivation he gives me and the little tips, he has been amazing. When I’m with him and we are on the bikes chatting, I just think “that is sir Chris Hoy by the side of me” and he is just mucking in like everyone else.’

Breakfast airs weekdays on BBC One from 6am.
