BC Breakfast’s Carol Kirkwood doesn’t have a lot luck in the case of broadcasting alongside canine – one thing that was once more demonstrated on Tuesday’s BBC Breakfast throughout a very chaotic second.

“Whilst we have been waiting for you to come to us, he has been sat there like a gentleman just looking ahead at his trainer and just being perfect. I don’t even know what the weather is today, I am so distracted.”
After giving her forecast, the climate skilled then commented on how effectively Ray had behaved, stating he had “hardly moved”.

Back within the studio, Sally exclaimed: “Oh no, oh Carol! Kirkwood down. It has happened again. Is she okay? Are you okay? Are you alright?”
“Yes!” a laughing Carol assured them, earlier than she referenced an identical incident that occurred reside on air in 2021: “I can’t believe this has happened again. Chelsea Flower Show all over again!”
