BBC Breakfast saw one beloved news anchor turn red-faced during Wednesday morning’s edition of the show.
Ben Thompson and Sally Nugent headed up the red couch this morning (August 10), but it was between the sport and weather when things really got going.
Chatting about Serena Williams’ tennis career and whether or not she will decide to retire soon, Sally segued away from the sport and introduced the weather.

Before she welcomed Carol Kirkwood though, Sally made an awkward blunder that Carol sweetly played along with after the news anchor was left red-faced on the red sofa.

“Let’s evolve away to the ten-” Sally said when she made the blunder, laughing it off and appearing a little taken aback and tongue-tied.
“Not the tennis, to the weather now,” she quickly added to cover up her mistake.
Laughing it off, Sally said “morning” to Carol before she appeared on-screen from a rooftop in the capital city.
Covering up for her pal, Carol played along and said: “I was thinking you saw us actually, we were having a quick game of tennis up here earlier, Sal.”

Later on she appeared back on our screens when she was trying to talk loudly over some rather loud drilling in the background.
This comes as Jon Kay is still missing in action from his fairly new role after taking over from Dan Walker.
Jon was hired to present the programme alongside Sally from Monday to Wednesday with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt taking over for the remaining days of the week.

He was missing from his new role on Monday, August 8 – and again today – with his Twitter untouched since July, 31.
Discussing the new job offer when the news broke earlier this year, Jon told fans online: “I’m over the moon to become the new regular presenter of BBC Breakfast and I’m looking forward to bringing our brilliant viewers the very latest news each morning alongside my good friend Sally and the rest of the team.
“Sitting on the famous red sofa is a real privilege while covering the stories and issues that matter to our audience – home and abroad.”
BBC Breakfast airs everyday at 6pm on BBC One, BBC News Channel and BBCiPlayer.
