BBC Breakfast descended into chaos on Wednesday (April 13) as Nina Warhurst ‘disappeared’ from the screen after nearly being run over by a trolley.
Business correspondent Nina was reporting on the rising inflation rates from a busy warehouse in Birmingham – but nothing could have prepared her as she was almost swept off her feet by a passing worker, quite literally.
With Jon Kay and Sally Nugent firmly on solid ground on the red sofa, they turned to Nina for the business news of the day – and it wasn’t looking good.
But as Nina concluded: “As we said earlier, the predictions from the Bank of England is that inflation will go even higher, higher than eight percent, in the coming months.
“They will potentially use interest rates in the meantime to bring it down.”

She added: “We get the latest figures at seven o’clock, as I said – expect it to go higher than six point seven percent. We’ll be back with you then.”
In the background as Nina prepared to deliver her parting words to camera, a group of male workers could be seen chatting as one attempted to steer a pallet truck forward – right to where Nina was standing.
They’d been waiting patiently for a few minutes while she chatted, but they seemed to sense the segment was over as she went to move out of the way, but not before showing herself on the TV screen behind them in a cheeky echo of BBC Breakfast.

She said: “In the meantime, we’ll probably just chill out and watch a bit of telly. I wonder if there’s anything good on?”
But she was cut off as the trolley went to move past her, and looked briefly startled as she jumped out of the way before the camera lost her entirely.
A frazzled Sally told her: “Mind your back! I think they’ve been waiting patiently, and you’re slightly in the way!”

She and Jon collapsed into giggles as they pointed out Nina’s visage on the TV screen behind her, with Jon laughing: “And now she’s on the telly!”
“Now she’s on two tellies!” Sally agreed, before asking: “Where’s she gone?”
Nina had disappeared from the main screen, but could still be spotted in the background of the warehouse, as Sally promised: “Nina, we will keep in touch and we’ll see you again, of course, that very important moment just after seven o’clock this morning.”
BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
