BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood left speechless as Naga Munchetty 'takes over' weather bulletin
BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood was playfully 'shut down' by her co-star Naga Munchetty live on air after she cheekily suggested they move on to "something interesting" - after 'taking over' the weather bulletin.
On Thursday's episode of the popular morning programme, Naga and Charlie Stayt were back on our screens, waking up the nation with the latest global news headlines.
They were joined by weather presenter Carol, who was back on the show to deliver the day's forecast. Before Carol could launch into her segment, Naga introduced her by saying: "It's time to talk to Carol and look ahead."
The camera then switched to a screen showing Carol standing in front of a green screen displaying the day's weather.
Seemingly taking over Carol's forecast, Naga pointed at the screen and said: "That's pretty much the view that was out there this morning and I think that is there for a lot of us. It's quite changeable weather but I think calmer nights and less stuffy nights," reports the Express.
Carol humorously interjected: "And that is the forecast, I'll be back in 10 minutes with the headlines."
The studio erupted in laughter as Naga jokingly responded: "Bye Carol it was really good talking to you. It is 12 minutes to 9 is the time, let's move on to something more interesting."
Caught off guard by the comment, Carol pulled a surprised face at the camera and exclaimed: "A shock." Naga couldn't help but laugh as she added: "Only joking."
It comes as Carol recently opened up about her time on BBC Strictly Come Dancing as she confessed that the programme left her feeling 'shattered'.
The 63 year old hit the dance floor back in 2015 alongside professional partner Pasha Kovalev, with the duo bowing out of the competition during the seventh week.
While speaking to Gary Davies on Radio Two, the BBC star revealed that balancing dance rehearsals with her morning weather presenting role proved demanding.
She said: "When you look back on it, you think, 'I can't believe I did that'. It was joyous, it was really hard work because I was working Monday to Friday, doing Breakfast at the time.
"So I was exhausted doing it, but Pasha Kovalev, my partner, is a gent as well and a really, really nice man."
BBC Breakfast airs everyday from 6am on BBC One and iPlayer

10 shows I saw in one day at the Edinburgh Fringe
This year, the total number of shows has risen to 3853, accompanied by a staggering 54,474 performances across 265 venues. While not yet up to pre-pandemic scale, the annual rhetoric of the city being overtaken by the Fringe continues, where else on earth could you step out of a show about four people earnestly attempting to 'improve' a ham sandwich with rice and soy sauce, straight into a demonic retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's greatest works, then find yourself in the lobby of a Radisson Blu, deep in conversation with a physicist, before the two of you try to unravel a queer drama where the only person not confused is the director — who is weeping uncontrollably? READ MORE: I tried to go to 10 Fringe shows in one day. Here's what happened Here are the 10 shows I saw in one day, and what I thought about each of them. A Political Breakfast Advertised as a show were comedians who wake up in time join a panel to discuss a range of topics over their morning coffee, I was actively excited for this. The large room I entered was full, and the 40-plus folk were, in true Fringe style, from all over the world. The parallels in politics from all corners of the earth were drawn as we discussed the monarchy to attitudes towards driving instructors. Will Jeremy Corbyn help Nigel Farage become Prime Minister? Is Charles a better King than Elisabeth was Queen? The comedians in attendance (Liz Bains, Kimmie Dee, Matthew Mckew and Jon Hipkiss) were on fire for 9.30am, and Harun Musho'd hosted the discussion incredibly well. For anyone who's scrolling through social media and thinking the country's politics is a complete mess, this will restore some of your faith in all generations. Rating: 4/5 Find out more here. Florence On Monday, this one-woman show starring and written by Honour Santes Barnes opened on George Street. The satirical tragicomic play follows the story of an ambitious young woman willing to use any means necessary to secure her success in the art world. Even if it means taking on a new identity. READ MORE: 'Cathartic': Indigenous Celtic heritage shines in Mairi Campbell's Fringe show This was the show's first performance and the crowd loved it. It will definitely be one of the many stars of the festival, and its exploration of how image, connections, and wealth dictate your way in the world could not be more apt for our times. Barnes, who plays at least 9 characters, gives a masterclass in character embodiment, one so good it rivals James McAvoy in Split. Potentially the best show at this year's Fringe. Rating: 5/5 Find out more here. Dreams of Peace and Freedom A song cycle commemorating Edinburgh-born David Maxwell Fyfe, a prosecuting counsel at the Nuremberg Trials, a human rights lawyer and a key figure in drafting the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). This show is performed by his descendants, Robert and Lily Blackmore, alongside Sue Casson with beautiful vocals. The trio gives the audience a love letter to Edinburgh, as well as to the values of peace, freedom and remembrance. I thoroughly recommend Keir Starmer sees this. The extent of research and detail in this show is extraordinary, and what the team has done on a low-budget is commendable. I hope to see it one day with a full budget. Rating: 3.5/5 Find out more here. Zoe Coombs Marr: The Splash Zone Australian comic Zoe Coombs Marr came to the Monkey Barrell with so much energy for The Splash Zone. The premise of the show is what it means to be "in the splash one" of a comedy show, and who a comedian on stage wants in the audience. It is all rooted in one instance when Marr learned Trump fans were in her audience at one show, and she began to ponder about the relationship between performer and audience. Her crowd work and observational comedy was some of the best I'd seen, and it felt there had ultimately been an important topic explored with applause, T-shirt guns, free pants, and laughter integrating her message. READ MORE: 5 of the best things I've seen at the Edinburgh Fringe so far Marr takes us full-circle with jokes multiple times, displaying incredible wit and energy all throughout the performance. Rating: 5/5 Find out more here. Alvin Liu: Love Letter to a Sandwich Chinese comedian Alvin grew up in the heart of Chinese food culture - where families would cook for hours just to avoid a hug. Now living in London, he's facing the greatest challenge of his life: eating cold sandwiches. Although rooted in a fantastic concept, this show leans on the public a bit too much, with audience members getting the biggest laughs. Liu may be funny, and the concept great, it feels like there is still work to be done on rounding out the rougher edges of this particular show. Rating: 2/5 Find out more here. One Man Poe: The Tell-Tale Heart and The Pit and the Pendulum Flyering on the street, I met performer and director Stephen Smith in his full gothic, classical get-up. I was quickly hooked on the show's premise, and could not have been more wow-ed by this "marathon of the macabre". Smith gives a demonic demonstration of Edgar Allan Poe's works, and the audience could not look away from his haunting eyes all show. At several points, the audience collectively took in breath and after an on-stage change of clothes and make-up refresh, Smith's physical efforts are seen by the sweat pooling on the stage and dripping from his hair in the second half as he plays a prisoner of war. A captivating talent, telling legendary stories. Rating: 5/5 Find out more here. When Billy met Alasdair Alan Bissett, award-winning writer takes on the dual roles of two Scottish cultural giants, speculating what (might've!) happened when Billy Connolly attended the launch for Alasdair Gray's 1981 masterpiece, Lanark. Bissett embodies both with his accents, physicality and delivery, and anyone who appreciates Glasgow for its culture will enjoy this immensely. It's an easy show, comforting, and does not leave anyone behind in its historical exploration of Glasgow or Hollywood. As a young writer, this show left me with immense pride in Scottish culture and enough inspiration to last decades, looking at all three; Connolly, Gray and Bissett. Rating: 5/5 Find out more here. Rebecca Lamb: 0 Advice on How to Hide a Body I mistakenly entered into Lamb's performance, thinking it was a different show but the low ceiling room of the Banshee Room's allowed for a small reprieve from the endless Fringe crowds. Lamb, from Nottingham, is innately funny, and beginning her career but was visibly growing more unsure of what to say as the audience grew. Less insults thrown at different countries, fleshing out parts that did land well, and a hint of preparation would probably go a long way. Rating: 1/5 Find out more here. Time Bends Shown in the Radisson Blu, Time Bends is performed by a four-piece cast and although well-staged, was very hard to follow. I was actively intrigued by the premise: "More than twenty years ago, literature student David met an older man called Michael in the bar of an independent cinema. They spoke for an hour, developed a genuine connection, and never met again. Twenty years later, sitting in the same cinema with his wife, David sees a man that looks very familiar. In that moment, David goes back to the afternoon he could never forget." However, the audience is given very little direction on what is going on and as I tried to make sense of it, I looked around and saw other audience members equally puzzled. At one point, the wife and Michael meet, crossing the boundaries of time, but with little meaning attached to why. I and a fellow audience member attempted to decrypt the meaning, when we then saw the director sobbing in the front row. I think this show was trying to be a profound exploration of queer love but in reality, did not invite the audience in to explore with them. Rating: 0/5 Find out more here.

First look at Jamie Lee Curtis' new movie has fans saying 'we need more films like this'
The first trailer for Ella McCay has dropped and fans are already obsessed with the film that also features Kumail Nanjiani, Ayo Edebiri, Woody Harrelson, Rebecca Hall and Julie Kavner. The first trailer for Ella McCay, a fresh comedy drama featuring Jamie Lee Curtis, has just landed and viewers are already captivated, with one declaring that "we need more movies like this". Set in 2008, the film centres on Ella (Emma Mackey), a successful young politician juggling the peaks and valleys of her chaotic family dynamics alongside her blossoming career. Packed with A-list talent, Jamie and Emma are joined by an impressive ensemble including Kumail Nanjiani, Ayo Edebiri, Woody Harrelson, Rebecca Hall and Julie Kavner. Fans were quick to voice their excitement online. One Reddit user posted: "It's nice to see a family drama airing in theaters. Don't see that much anymore," reports the Express. Another remarked: "I miss seeing in trailers when it runs through all of the actors and they're all laughing." A third chimed in: "This looks like the perfect movie to walk into without much planning ahead on a random date. I like the cast." Another viewer noted: "Haven't really seen Emma Mackey outside of Sex Education (besides her small role in Barbie) but really liked her in that show, so I'm interested in seeing her playing a different type of character." One enthusiast declared: "Yes. Always lovely when a trailer actually makes you laugh." Meanwhile another added: "We need more movies like this." The picture, scheduled to arrive in cinemas on December 12, comes from the direction of James L Brooks, the Oscar-winning writer and director behind As Good as It Gets (1997) and Spanglish (2004). James is set to make a grand return to the director's chair with Ella McCay, his first film in over a decade since 2010's How Do You Know, featuring Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson and Jack Nicholson. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he shared: "I came from a family that wasn't roses and warm bread, and so I wanted it to be about one errant parent and getting over the loss of a parent. I never want to do anything that's not a comedy, and I always want to represent life." He also revealed the lengthy audition process that led to Emma landing the lead role, saying, "I was in an audition process for a long time. "I went to London, and very late in the game, she turned up, and that was it. In my mind, I pictured the kind of heroines that we had in the '50s and '60s, early Katharine Hepburn and Rosalind Russell. There's a certain kind of great movie star we used to have, and Emma has a lot of those same qualities." Ella McCay is set to hit the big screen on 12 December.

Katherine Kelly thought she'd 'have to reshoot' crucial scene after filming setback
Katherine Kelly has spoken out on the challenges she faced while working on her new Channel 4 drama In Flight, as she joined This Morning to talk about the new series Katherine Kelly has revealed the genuine difficulties of shooting her latest television project. She confessed, "I thought we'd have to reshoot" one crucial scene. The 45-year-old actress is poised to mesmerise audiences tonight as she portrays Jo Conran in the fresh Channel 4 drama In Flight. Prior to the compelling drama, the star featured on Tuesday's (August 12) edition of This Morning, alongside hosts Emma Willis and Andi Peters, discussing her newest television role, reports the Express. Katherine was eager to reveal how Belfast's brutal weather impacted filming. She explained: "This is a really ambitious project, we filmed it in Belfast but it's set in London though so it had to look like anywhere in the world." Andi interjected and enquired: "Bangkok is one of the places, so you had to make Bangkok in Belfast?" Katherine proceeded to detail the severe conditions they encountered on set, stating: "Not only did we do it in Belfast in the winter, but there was an amber weather warning that day." She added: "So I said to Chris, our brilliant director, I was like 'how are we going to make Belfast street look like Bangkok, also how are we going to do it today because it hasn't stopped raining today'." The actress confessed: "We shot it that night because it needed to look moody, and we had about 35 supporting artists, we all had summer clothes on freezing in the rain. "We were literally dragging our feet through the puddles. I honestly thought we would have to reshoot that, but it looks incredible. You have to keep watching because it is right at the end, but it was absolutely brilliant." The Channel 4 thriller In Flight centres on a flight attendant and single mum, Jo, who discovers herself trapped in a living hell when her son, Sonny, is locked up in Bulgaria for a killing he insists he didn't carry out. Subsequently, Jo is contacted by an enigmatic figure who discloses himself to be part of a criminal organisation that has methods to reach Sonny behind bars. Through making threats against his life, they force Jo into trafficking narcotics across international boundaries by exploiting her anonymity as cabin crew when passing through airport security. Katherine is scheduled to appear alongside Martin, Ashley Thomas, and Bronagh Waugh, who have secured pivotal parts. This Morning broadcasts weekdays from 10am on ITV1 and ITVX and In Flight debuts on Channel 4 on Tuesday 12th August 2025.
