BBC Breakfast’s Louise Lear cheekily told off Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt following a request to the weather lady.
The hosts were discussing recent news of Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew’s personal Star Wars items being pulled from auction after the pleas of his widow Angie Mayhew.

It came after the auctioneers acquired pieces including scrips, call sheets and clippings from the original Star Wars trilogy from an elderly couple who discovered them in the attic of their home.
They discovered the house had been owned by the couple after Angie shared her distress at the sale online.

As the two hosts discussed the sale on the morning show, Charlie recognised that there were lots of fans who would “love” to see the original scripts.
Naga added: “Yeah knowing that he’s thumbed through those and learned the lines – not that Chewbacca’s lines were always lines.”
They then questioned whether it would be printed as “roar” as Naga added: “Well it’s kind of like… well I’m not going to do it, I wouldn’t do it justice.

“Louise might? I don’t know, no?”
Louise let out a giggle and teased: “You two are naughty aren’t you?”, but then let out her own version of the Chewbacca sound – much to Naga and Charlie’s enjoyment.
The pair were impressed with her response as she then continued to share the updates on the weather.

She explained his “movement challenges” made it impossible for him to collect the items in the attic and said it “breaks her heart” to see the belongings auctioned off.
She added: “It was one of Peter’s and my biggest regrets that we had to leave these items behind, but his knees and joints had gotten to be so painful that he was no longer able to go into the attic to get them.”
It has since been confirmed that the items will be returned to the Mayhew family after speaking with them directly.
BBC Breakfast continues at 6am on BBC One.
