Sorry."He looked down and seemed rather shocked when he realised he'd got the time wrong.A red-faced Jon quickly corrected himself and jokingly urged viewers not to panic - just incase they worried they were late for work or dropping their kids off at school.Sally clearly saw the funny side of the error as she laughed beside him - and Jon managed to flash a grin too.It's well known that BBC Breakfast stars have to get up extremely early to prepare for the programme - past presenter Louise Minchin would set her alarm for three.Breakfast then airs between six and nine in the morning.This is a live TV story and is being constantly updated.
