BBC Breakfast’s Mike Bushell made a very veiled dig at Carol Kirkwood on Thursday morning (February 16).
With Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt sitting on the red couch, the two BBC favourites talked viewers through the breaking news stories around the country.
After Mike appeared to talk about all things sport, the trio discussed the dreary weather that has recently make a return to the UK.

Charlie asked Mike if it was a wet morning when he arrived at work, which left the three broadcasters fuming over how grim and rainy the weather has become.
Seguing into the weather, Naga said: “You’d hope that Carol would cheer us up, wouldn’t you?”
With Carol then appearing on the screen, Mike made an unexpected and very veiled dig when he said: “I don’t hold out much hope looking at her.”
“Oh. Oh,” Naga said as her voice wavered a little.
The entire audience then let out a gasp as Carol giggled before realising what Mike had just said.
“I don’t know if that came out as he meant,” Naga chimed in, covering for her pal and co-star.
Mike could then be heard in the background saying: “The skies behind you,” referring to the screen that showed grey skies behind the meteorologist.
Unsure if he had made things worse for himself, Naga then said: “You need to be careful Mike.”
She then added: “The temper will come out there,” while pointing to Carol who was on the screen behind her.
Laughing at the jovial banter in the studio, Carol added: “That’s called backpedaling furiously, Mike,” before carrying on with her weather presenting duties where she gave viewers an overview of what the weather will be like over the next few days.
