BBC Breakfast turned tense on Thursday morning (February 17) as presenter Jon Kay shut down his co-star in an awkward row.Jon was joined by co-presenter Naga Munchetty and sports correspondent Mike Bushell on the red sofa to discuss the sporting issues of the day - including the ongoing Winter Olympics.Mike began by telling his co-stars: "Team GB have a huge chance of guaranteeing a medal..."But Naga soon interrupted: "Well, you've said this..." as Mike finished: "I know, A fair few times, but this is it because they do have their semi-final against the USA at lunchtime today."Mike continued to explain his reasoning, adding: "Now the Brits have only lost one of their nine matches, and yes, that was to the USA.""Oh Mike, Mike!" Jon moaned, as Naga struggled to find the words to express what she was thinking."But there's hope!" Mike insisted, adding: "They're in better form than they were in the Round Robin match because they're top of the group, their tails are up, they've got the form and momentum.

How many have you got, and are you all [presenters] having a bobble hat off?"Katherine admitted: "Well I went to PyeongChang four years ago with two bobble hats, and that was a mistake. Because it turns out you're on TV every single day and you want a bit of variety!"She went on to explain: "So I've brought seven bobble hats with me out to Beijing.
