BBC Breakfast underwent a fresh presenter shake-up on Monday morning – and the stand-in host suffered with a live technical blunder live on the show.
Monday to Wednesday’s instalments of the programme are usually presented by Jon Kay, 55, and Sally Nugent, 53, followed by Naga Munchetty, 50, and Charlie Stayt, 62, Thursday to Saturday.
However Jon was joined by step-in Sarah Campbell on the iconic red sofa instead.
And unfortunately the pair had to navigate a technical error when weatherwoman Carol Kirkwood, 62, was presenting one of her segments.
Carol was live from Chelsea Flower Show at the historic Royal Hospital Chelsea in London to update viewers with if there was going to be any sunshine.
Jon said: ‘Carol is therefor us this morning at the Chelsea Flower Show. A sneak peek of the doggy garden a bit later…’
BBC Breakfast host replaced in fresh presenter shake-up – and stand-in immediately struggles with live technical blunder
Monday to Wednesday’s instalments of the programme is usually presented by Jon Kay, 55, and Sally Nugent, 53, (pictured above), followed by Naga Munchetty, 50, and Charlie Stayt, 62, Thursday to Saturday
And unfortunately the pair had to navigate a technical error while presenting the show when weatherwoman Carol Kirkwood, 62, was presenting one of her segments
As the journalist was talking to camera, Carol was seen smiling in the background on the big screen, but suddenly it went black.
He continued: ‘But where is she now?!’
Sarah couldn’t hide her shock and said: ‘Oh!’ and then added: ‘Oh she’s back?!’
Jon added: ‘That’s the really dark garden…’
‘The night garden,’ Sarah giggled back.
Jon then went back to see if Carol was on the screen and said: ‘Hey morning Carol, morning!’
Carol replied saying: ‘Good morning!’ but before she could finish her sentence the screen went black again.
The camera went back to Jon and Sarah in the studio who couldn’t hide their disappointment.

Carol replied to Jon and Sarah: ‘Good morning!’ but before she could finish her sentence the screen went black again
Sarah said: ‘Oh no!’
Jon joked: ‘I was looking for bright flowers, sunshine… a garden alive.’
Sarah said: ‘I’m sure once we’ve got the technicals working we will be straight back to Carol because we all want to know what’s going on in Chelsea!’
Later on in the show Jon told viewers: ‘We’ve fed and watered our technical equipment at the Chelsea flower show, and Carol is blooming again…’
The weatherwoman then returned to our screens and managed to present the segment without any problems.
It comes after Charlie Stayt took a cheeky swipe at his co-star live on air during Friday’s instalment of BBC Breakfast last week.
During the show, business reporter Peter Ruddick broadcast live from Drayton Manor Resort, in Staffordshire, and discussed increasing ticket prices due to rising running costs
Peter said: ‘Charlie, Naga, I’ve been having a little wander around, there is a Thomas Land, it looks quite sedate, I’m quite keen on that.’
He joked: ‘I think I’ll probably keep to maybe having a go on the nice little horses over here. Look at that, that looks about my style, about my speed, not too high, what do we think?’
Naga quipped: ‘I think Charlie would join you on those, wouldn’t you? That would be more your thing wouldn’t it?’
‘I’d be fine with that, I think what you need to do is a variety of things,’ Charlie replied.
Peter added: ‘I’m a very serious business journalist.’
‘Who told you that? Who said that?’ Charlie quipped in a cheeky swipe, while Naga laughed in the background.
BBC Breakfast airs from 6am on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer.
