BBC Breakfast presenter Sally Nugent was forced to step in after her co-star’s couldn’t stop ranting about Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds.
Kicking off a new week, the 51-year-old sat alongside regular co-host Jon Kay and the pair welcomed correspondent John Watson to chat about the latest sports news.
Hot on the topic was Wrexham’s clash with Sheffield United in the FA Cup which took place on Sunday night (January 29).

Aside from the nail-biting score line which saw Wrexham concede a goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time to force a replay, the main event was Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds being in attendance.

Noting the positive impact the Deadpool actor has had on the club in such a short time, Sally asked the duo: “If you think about it, how many football club owners are that popular?
“Not that many!,” the newsreader added.
The sports presenter chimed in: “And he’s only growing in popularity in every waking moment,” as Jon interjected: “It makes you sick, doesn’t it?”

“I know!,” agreed John before Sally laughed, asking the pair: “Do you hate him?”
John joked: “What is it about the Hollywood movie star and the millions in the bank and the lovely family life and the humour and comedy that he brings?”
Including another major aspect, Jon added: “And the successful football club?”
Wanting to calm her co-star’s down, Sally was forced to interrupt the pair as she exclaimed: “Alright lads, alright, alright!”
Getting one last cheeky dig in there, Jon joked: “Overrated!”

This comes shortly after Sally was left begging for help as she simply couldn’t cope with Jon Kay’s “inappropriate” behaviour last week.
During a segment about a famous duck named Ham. Jon couldn’t resist a cheeky aside to Sally, as he quipped: “And, er, talking of bills…”
“Oh god, Jon! Oh Jon!” Sally exclaimed, with her co-star Nina Warhurst joining in beside her – all prepped to talk about the ongoing cost of living crisis.
With a deadpan expression, Sally begged: “Help us, Nina! Just help us!”
