BBC Breakfast’s Dan Walker was caught up in an extremely awkward moment after he was forced to apologise profusely to his co-host Nina Warhurst.
On Tuesday’s programme, Dan presented a segment alongside Nina where reporter Ben Boulous discussed the latest Christmas Royal Mail updates.

However, Dan soon made a sly – yet unintentional – dig towards his co-host Nina’s weight.
Reporter Ben was speaking to the pair as he said: “Nina and Dan, I thought what better way than to wrap a little Christmas parcel from me to you.
“I had a look around my flat and I found a little box of chocolates and I’ve lovingly wrapped it.
“I say a box of chocolate, it’s literally the box, the chocolates have been consumed already, but it’s Christmas it’s the thought that counts, right?”
Nina then jokingly replied: “Absolutely, I will definitely be hot-footing it in the office on Christmas day in order to collect that empty box. Thank you, Ben.”
Dan then accidentally offended Nina and said: “It keeps the weight down as well knowing there’s not any chocolate in it.”
Shocked by his comment, Nina said: “What are you saying?”
Looking guilty, Dan panicked and said: “No, not your weight!”
“Get out, get out while you can. It’s time now for the news, travel and the weather while I apologise profusely to Nina.”
Luckily, Nina laughed and brushed off the situation, but still didn’t let Dan off the hook completely with Nina telling him “it’s too late”.
BBC Breakfast kicks off every morning from 6am until 9am.
