Dan Walker left his BBC Breakfast colleagues in fits of giggles after he’d confessed “I’d almost lost my trousers” on Monday.
Sally Nugent, 50, had been discussing the latest storms that have caused havoc throughout the UK this weekend – when Dan made the jaw-dropping remark.
“We just mentioned the terrible storms that have taken place over the past couple of days,” added Sally before Dan interjected: “I nearly lost my trousers on the way in.”
Gobsmacked, Sally exclaimed: “Excuse me?”
Realising he’d overshared, the newsreader, 44, attempted to dig himself out of the situation.
He explained: “Not the trousers I’m wearing, I had a spare pair of trousers with us.”
Unable to contain his laughter Dan, added: “I mean it was windy but not that bad.”
He made a gesture as if to say he was holding them folded over his arm, with his co-star Sally attempting to make sense of the situation.
“You were holding them there, okay. It wasn’t ‘my trousers fell off?” joked Sally.
“A significant gust,” quipped back Dan.
Sally chimed in: “My trousers fell off is a very good excuse Daniel.”
Turning to weather expert Carol Kirkwood, Dan couldn’t seem to get to grips with his giggles.
“You should always think before you speak. Carol, good morning,” remarked the red sofa host.
Getting in on the joke, Carol said: “You should because we’ll be calling you Donald for the rest of the morning now.”
After the meteorologist had finished delivering the weather, the Strictly Come Dancing star commented: “Thank you very much, so no chance of losing your trousers again tomorrow then?”
The whole cast fell about the place laughing as weather expert Carol told her co-star: “I hope not Dan that’s far too much information.”
Looking bashful, Dan responded: “I hope that no one’s just tuned in at that point, thanks Carol see you later on.”
