BBC Breakfast star John Maguire had to apologise for his choice of outfit after Sally Nugent questioned the rogue choice live on air.
The 51-year-old presenter returned to the red sofa for Wednesday’s programme after being replaced by Nina Warhurst on yesterday’s show as she left to interview Roger Federer about his retirement from tennis.
Sally joined regular co-host Jon Kay and the duo spoke to their correspondent John who was live from Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands with Ross Edgley.

As John spoke to Ross before he attempted the “bonkers” challenge, he talked through the 36-year-olds choice of outfit as he prepared to tackle the 10-degree water.
“We’re going for goggles obviously and then two hoods. And then we’ve got these reflective stickers that are going on either side so that they’ll be able to see him in the dark,” John narrated.

As he watched Ross set off for the brutal challenge, Sally could be heard from the studio asking about John’s choice of outfit after he went into so much detail about Ross’s.
“John I love the detail with which you went through Ross’s outfit and all the gear. But can I ask you just to talk us through what you’re wearing?,” Sally said as the camera panned down and exposed John’s swimming trunks.

The BBC Breakfast star giggled as he joked: “Well I came straight from London, didn’t I. So unless I was going to do a James Bond thing and wear a wetsuit underneath my black suit, it wouldn’t really have worked.”
“So I’m sorry. Anybody trying to enjoy their breakfast this morning, I’m sorry,” he added.
Layered with several jackets as well as his leaf patterned trunks, John assured: “It’s cold too. It’s cold,” at his current location in Scotland.
