During a recent episode of BBC Breakfast, presenters Jon Kay and Sally Nugent caught their colleague John Watson off guard with a surprising dare. The popular morning show, known for its diverse range of news and topics, also turned its attention to sports coverage.
The Davis Cup in Manchester
One of the highlights of the show was colleague John Watson, reporting live from the AO Arena in Manchester for the Davis Cup. This international tennis event is being held in the city for the first time since 1994. On Sunday, an impressive 13,000 fans will gather to watch GB’s final group match, potentially making it the largest crowd ever for a Davis Cup tie.
The dare unfolds
As John Watson discussed the Davis Cup competition, he made his way towards the umpire's chair and placed his hand on it. Sally Nugent commented on the pressure and stress associated with sitting in the umpire's chair, to which John agreed. However, Sally then surprised everyone by challenging John to actually sit in the chair before the end of the morning's programme.
The hosts, Jon Kay and Sally Nugent, playfully dared John to accept the challenge. Hesitant at first, John eventually agreed, saying, "Okay… Go on. Alright. It's a dare. I'll take it."
Did John complete the dare?
Curious viewers watched throughout the show to see if John Watson would actually follow through on the dare and sit in the umpire's chair. However, as the episode progressed, John was shown in other parts of the arena and did not appear to fulfill the challenge.
