Naga Munchetty was left in stitches when meteorologist Carol Kirkwood made a “cutting” comment on Thursday’s BBC Breakfast (April 22).
Carol was delivering her daily weather forecast and telling viewers the weekend is set for sunshine with no spells of rain before she ended the segment and passed over to hosts Naga and Ben Thompson.
Naga told Carol: “I’m quite pleased about that. I know gardeners aren’t pleased about it Carol but I’m pleased about it.”
“Where was that gorgeous picture you started with from? It was so pretty.”
Carol replied: “It was from a little place in west London, called Library.”

Naga burst out laughing in the studio before Ben chimed in: “They have all the best of views don’t they Carol?”
Surprised by the sudden dig, Naga responded: “You’ve got the cutting comments in early hey!”
“Oh no, that’s true,” Carol added as she grinned. “That’s not a cutting comment, it’s actually true. It’s from our library, it’s a stock picture, and it is beautiful.”
Ben wrapped up the segment as he pleaded with the viewers to tell them if they found the picture.
Later on the show, Carol was caught in an embarrassing blunder by mistaking Ben as another BBC Breakfast anchor Dan Walker.

She realised the mistake and quickly corrected herself, saying: “Ben! I could of got away with that one.”
Ben joked: “I used to like you Carol! I’ve been called so much worse!”
And Naga made fun of Carol’s blunder by calling her “Susan”.
Eagle-eyed viewers quickly took to Twitter and told Carol “not to worry” about the mistake.
“Happens to us all,” one said and a second added: “Didn’t see it Carol but get the impression that you called Ben, Dan? So easily done if so. I’m sure that Ben will forgive you.”
