United States BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood embarrassed after getting colleague's name wrong on air
BBC Breakfast presenter Carol Kirkwood was left red-faced after she accidentally got her colleague's name wrong while live on air.
The TV star appeared to be embarrassed during a weather forecast segment when she mixed up Sally Nugent's co-host Jon Kay with Strictly star Dan Walker.
Carol was forced to apologise after making the blunder while updating viewers on Storm Barra as heavy winds and rain continues to sweep across the country.
She said: "Temperatures picking up a little bit once again, especially so in the west. Dan and Sal."
Carol then looked red-faced after making the blunder, telling the pair on the famous red sofas: "Jon and Sal."
Sally told her: "You've done it now."
She then tried to swiftly move on as she laughed: "Let's pretend that didn’t happen. Jon and Sal."
Jon said: "Don't worry, don't worry, that's fine."
He added: "It's her face, the horror. Thank you so much."
It's not the first time Carol has made an awkward slip-up on the programme.
In recent weeks, Carol got confused when Dan Walker and Nina Warhurst were presenting the show, and Nina's name temporarily escaped the meteorologist.
Finishing up her weather segment, Carol said: “So, if you haven’t got your big coat out yet Dan and…” Carol began, before pausing awkwardly.
Finally remembering her colleague's name, Carol exclaimed: “Oh, Nina! Couldn’t remember who was on - sorry Nina.
“Nina, apologies I’m your biggest fan!”
Nina saw the funny side and joked that she wouldn't "take it personally.”
To which Carol replied: “No, I’m your biggest fan. I can’t believe I forgot your name.”
Seizing the opportunity to make mischief, Dan teased: “I thought you were my biggest fan?”
“I’m your biggest fan too!” Carol laughed, with Nina joking: “We can’t trust anything you say.”
With the recent changes in presenting personnel at BBC Breakfast in recent weeks, Carol could be forgiven for not knowing who was going to be on the sofa.
Defending his colleague Dan said: "It’s very difficult Carol because we keep changing presenters all the time because Sally’s off in Leeds today, Nina’s on the sofa today.”
Nina quipped: "And aren't you on some sort of dancing show?"
To which Dan replied: "Yes, occasionally. I don't even know what day of the week it is!"
