BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty left in fits of laughter as co-star steps in
BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty had a hilarious moment on Thursday's episode when she struggled to pronounce the title of Adam Kay's new children's book, leading her co-host Charlie Stayt to chime in with lighthearted support.
Commencing the interview segment, Charlie introduced: "Having worked as a doctor, Adam Kay often draws on medical themes for his comedy and writing. His latest feature book aimed at children is no different."
Naga attempted to continue: "Simon Gets Sneezed-", but she paused mid-sentence, unable to complete the title before erupting into a fit of giggles.
With laughter interrupting her attempts to proceed, Charlie decided to join the fun, encouraging her by saying: "Have another go!"
Adam Kay, off-camera by this point, was heard chuckling at Naga's struggled attempts, prompting her to implore him: "Adam, can you just do it?!"
When Adam appeared on camera, he graciously informed the viewers that his book is entitled Simon Gets Sneezed, reports the Express.
Charlie couldn't resist teasing Naga, as he commented: "You said it very nicely!" to which Naga added: "Yeah, you did."
Naga then offered more insight into the children's book, detailing how Simon, the titular character, is a snot residing in a person's nose.
Continuing the conversation, Adam explained: "This is my second picture book, for kids three to six sort of age, explaining how bits of the body work and what's more important than snot?!"
Following Charlie's observation that young children often find snot fascinating, Adam stressed its significance to the show's presenters.
He elaborated: "You're immune system is there, it's stopping pollution getting in, it's stopping all these allergens.
"So, we can explain some reasonably complicated things for children who are asking their grown-ups, who probably don't know the answers."

BBC Breakfast's Jon Kay halts show as Carol Kirkwood suffers on air blunder
BBC Breakfast presenter Jon Kay was forced to step in and say 'sorry' during Wednesday's edition of the programme as Scots star Carol Kirkwood suffered a technical issue BBC Breakfast was hit by a disruption during Wednesday's live show, as presenter Jon Kay was forced to step in. A technical blunder occurred as Jon and co-presenter Sarah Campbell were reading the daily headlines. When the moment arrived to hand over to Scots star Carol Kirkwood for the weather forecast, chaos broke out on the breakfast programme, as reported by the Mirror. Jon said: "Carol has the weather for us this morning. Hi Carol, is this sunshine going to continue for many?". She responded: "Yes, it is today, Jon. Good morning to you both, and good morning to you too. Yesterday we reached..." As the BBC meteorologist began her report, her microphone began malfunctioning, making it impossible for audiences to hear her properly, which forced Jon to intervene. Cutting back to the studio, he said: "Carol, I'm sorry, Carol, we've got a little bit of interference on Carol's microphone there. We'll sort that out and we'll get back to her very soon. "It sometimes happens, gremlins get involved. Maybe it's the heat? ! Maybe it's the hot weather interfering." Thankfully for audiences the minor technical issue was resolved quickly, as they managed to return to Carol later in the broadcast. Jon told viewers: "Delighted to say we can rejoin Carol. Carol, we don't mind not hearing you when the weather is bad! But when the weather is good we want to hear every word." He continued with the weather update, indicating that the highest temperatures today, Wednesday 13, would be in the north of the Uk, in Yorkshire, where it could reach up to 33 degrees. Meanwhile earlier this week, Carol surprised her colleagues after revealing the roles she held before joining the BBC team. During Monday's show, Jon asked Carol about the jobs she had when she was younger to earn some extra money during the summer holidays. She replied: "Yes, I did. I worked as a housemaid, as a waitress, as a receptionist, all these things!". Humorously claiming she had done 'everything', Carol also shared that she had been a postwoman. Clearly surprised, Jon responded: "A post woman? ! You didn't used to predict the weather for your neighbours? That kind of thing?". She retorted: "No, but you know, you used to go in the mornings, you'd smell toast, bacon, sausages. Ooh, it'd make you hungry!".

Foundation set up in Southport victim's name to spread ‘magic'
Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, was killed along with Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and six-year-old Bebe King when Axel Rudakubana, 18, launched his knife attack on a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town on July 29 last year. Her parents Sergio and Alexandra Aguiar told BBC Breakfast on Wednesday they have set up the Alice's WonderDance foundation in their daughter's memory. Mrs Aguiar said her daughter began dancing when she was 16 or 17-months-old and danced 'non-stop' from then. She said: 'Alice's WonderDance is a foundation we created in the name of Alice just to show everyone how wonderful Alice was. 'We just want to provide fun for children in the world of dance.' She said the logo for the charity features ballet shoes and a magic wand to 'spread the magic in her name'. Money raised could go towards dance classes for after-school clubs, uniforms for children or university funding for young dancers, Mrs Aguiar said. Mr Aguiar is set to take on six marathons across the world to raise funds, starting in Berlin next month. He said: 'Every mile I run is for her and her name. I just think about her.' He ran the London Marathon earlier in the year to raise money for a new playground at Churchtown Primary School, where Alice was a pupil. The family said they have received support from Elsie's Story and Bebe's Hive – funds set up in memory of the other two victims. Mr Aguiar said: 'We try to work together like a team, try to help each other.' Family friend Sarah Buck told the programme the foundation is also selling merchandise, including T-shirts, bags and hats, to raise money.
