BBC Breakfast presenter Jon Kay was left fuming on Wednesday (July 20), as he threatened to "pull the plug" on various elements of the programme.Jon was clearly left unhappy that producers had sent him out as a roving reporter earlier in the week during the hottest temperatures on record, first appearing by the river in Cambridge and then at Droitwich Spa Lido.Meanwhile, his co-host Nina Warhurst got to remain in the air conditioned BBC studio at Media City.READ MORE: BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood floored as she makes show history with announcementAs the programme was plagued by a host of technical errors on Wednesday morning, with various interviews getting cut off by microphone failures, Jon decided he'd had enough.He and Nina had turned to reporter Chetan Pathak, who was in place at Brighton & Hove Community Stadium to report on the latest game in the Euro 2022 tournament, where England will soon take on Spain.Nina explained: "Time to check in with Chetan for the sport.

Channel 5 presenter Dan Walker, who previously worked on BBC Breakfast, has always been adamant that "God is in control".

Dan Walker had clearly not prepared for every eventuality as he was left trouserless ahead of his hosting gig on Channel 5.The 45-year-old was fortunate that a member of the public ran to his rescue to save the day after he'd suffered a nightmare day where his wardrobe had been concerned.Life had been ticking along smoothly for Dan after he made the switch from BBC Breakfast to Channel 5 News recently, until this week that is.READ MORE: Dan Walker hits back at claim he was 'shackled at the BBC' after Channel 5 moveOn Monday's episode, Dan opened up about his hellish trip to the office which could have left him feeling rather red faced had a bystander not have stepped in.The TV host didn't delve into all of the finer detail but did explain to viewers that it "was a long story" but he'd somehow forgot to pack his trousers and shirt for work.Having a joke with his new co-star Katherine Nash on his new show, he said: "I’m not going to lie, I’ve got full coverage of back sweat."You probably don’t wanna hear that but the good news is, people are looking out for each other today!"The news reporter added: "I should say a huge thank you to Hash who works in a pub/hotel around the corner called the Waterman."I lost my trousers and shirt today, it’s a long story..."I turned up there, he lent me an iron, I ironed my spare shirt and he also gave us a nice glass of ice cold water."Giving further thanks, Dan commented: "What a man," as a number of pictures of Dan with Hash appeared on the screen behind him.The TV star doesn't tend to take himself too seriously and will often share his own misfortunes with his adoring Twitter following.Doing just that, he also took to the popular platform to tweet about the mishap.He hilariously penned:

NEWS presenter Dan Walker was left in a bit of a nightmare situation during yesterday's heatwave after he was left trouserless. The former BBC Breakfast host - who recently made the jump to Channel 5 News - shared his tale on-air.

BBC Breakfast host Jon Kay simply couldn't do right for doing wrong this week, as he was caught in yet another awkward wardrobe blunder.On Monday (July 18), Jon had opted for a linen jacket and a blue shirt - but quickly saw the jacket ruined as a pigeon decided to have a poo on the collar.So, hoping for the best on Tuesday, Jon dressed in a white button-up shirt patterned with lilac flowers, forgoing the jacket entirely in the heatwave, and admitted he hoped the shirt would act as "camouflage" should another bird approach needing the toilet.But it seemed he simply couldn't win, as on location at Droitwich Spa Lido, he encountered another man in a very similar outfit - hailing the pair "twins".Jon told viewers: "We are having a wonderful time. I haven't been pushed in yet, I haven't been splashed too much!"He then introduced Dr Mohit Mandiratta, who appeared on the show to give some health advice to viewers about coping in the heat.But the doctor was wearing a very similar shirt to Jon, albeit with slightly larger purple flowers."Dr Mohit has just arrived, you've got to see this, right? We didn't co-ordinate deliberately, but can you believe this Nina?" Jon asked.In the studio, host Nina Warhurst joked: "My eyes!"Jon giggled: "I thought my shirt was crazy, but he beat me!"Dr Mohit then responded: "I know, I didn't get the memo, clearly.

BBC Breakfast fans were left baffled as another shake-up saw host Jon Kay abandon the studio completely for the second time in a week.The permanent presenter only officially landed Dan Walker's old job a fortnight ago - but catching Covid-19 last week meant he couldn't take up the role immediately.And on Jon's official first week on the job, he fled the studio entirely, leaving Nina Warhurst to present alone from Media City.READ MORE: BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood reveals how she 'ruined' her fiancée's proposalInstead, Jon took up a post at Droitwich Spa Lido near Birmingham to present live on the latest heatwave news.

BBC Breakfast presenter Sally Nugent was nowhere to be seen this week, as she has been replaced by stand-in host Nina Warhurst in a huge shake up to the usual line-up.Sally usually presents the show alongside new permanent presenter Jon Kay on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, before Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt take over towards the end of the week.But while Jon was out and about at Droitwich Spa Lido to present on the latest heatwave news, Nina was holding the fort solo back at Media City.READ MORE: BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood reveals how she 'ruined' her fiancée's proposalEven weather presenter Carol Kirkwood and business correspondent Ben Boulos had abandoned her, with Carol hosting from Kew Gardens and Ben busy at a central London train station to talk about the transport chaos.

This is unprecedented heat @BBCBreakfast xxx."She went on to explain: "Temperatures are likely to be highest today in parts of the Midlands, London and East Anglia.

Because I've just been splatted by a pigeon."Carol simply burst into laughter at his admission, before gathering herself enough to say: "Try one of these wet wipe things - it might spread it a wee bit, but if you use a few..."Looking completely unimpressed by Carol's tips, Jon said: "It could get messy, couldn't it?
