‘That’ll get us in trouble’ cringes BBC Breakfast’s Sally Nugent as Jon Kay makes racy Carol Kirkwood blunder
BBC Breakfast star Jon Kay was left cringing after making an embarrassing slip-up on the show.
It saw the TV presenter remarking that he would be in trouble for the awkward slip of the tongue.
54 year old Jon was back to host proceedings on the show as he took to the famous red sofa alongside his co-host Sally Nugent.
Reports of Storm Isha dominated the morning show’s agenda and it seemed that the frantic weather was never too far from Jon’s mind.
It saw Sally and Jon bringing Britain up to date with all the chaos and disruption caused across the country as a result of the treacherous weather conditions.
As their first segment on the weather came to and end, Jon assured fans that they would continue to bring telly watchers all the latest updates as it happened as well as having regular face Carol Kirkwood deliver up-to-date forecasts.
However, the star managed to get his words in a muddle as he appeared to suggest that Carol would be doing her reports in a rather racy manner.
Jon spoke about Carol giving a “leather” forecast instead of a weather forecast.
It seemed as though he had accidentally merged ‘latest’ and ‘weather’ together for the cringe-worthy moment.
He said: “Carol will have the very leather…”
Sally immediately erupted into giggles at the blunder as Jon pleaded that he meant “weather, not leather”.
She then insisted: “That’ll get us in trouble!”
Later in the programme, the slip-up was mentioned yet again as Jon said to Carol following her update: “How’s the leather forecast too?”
Shooting a stern look with her hands on her hips, Carol quipped: “Yes, I heard you wanted the weather in leather this morning.”
Although he clarified that was not what he meant, Sally took the opportunity to suggest it could be a ratings boost for the show.
She said: “There are lots of men agreeing with the idea, I think.”
Jon then added: “Ratings would go through the roof!”
The comments left Carol red-faced as she appeared to want to move on from the blunder.
