BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker was left red-faced during an interview after an unfortunate technical blunder.
The chaotic scenes began as YouTuber Jack Harries turned up late to the studio and had to spring onto the set to just about make his segment in time.
Ahead of the COP26 conference in Glasgow next week, Jack was speaking about his new climate change series on YouTube – but that’s when things got awkward.
Dan welcomed him into the studio and said: “Jack, just joined us now,” before co-host Sally Nugent echoed: “He literally just sat down.”
Moments after his sprint onto the set, Dan’s watch then blurted out a notification during his conversation with the YouTuber.
“Oh sorry, my watch is talking back to me, sorry,” revealed the embarrassed host.
Trying to lighten the mood, Sally jokingly replied: “Jack, oh help us, rescue us.”
It’s not the first time that BBC’s breakfast programme has been thrown into chaos by a technical issue, either.
Earlier this year, the clock – which usually remains in the left corner of the screen – wasn’t appearing.
Remaining absent for the entire programme, Dan was forced to apologise to die-hard fans of the show who suffered “all sorts of issues” as a result.
In recent weeks, viewers of the show have been left divided after a presenter shake-up has seen Dan missing in action as he bids for Strictly Come Dancing glory.
Last month saw the 44-year-old bid an emotional goodbye to his long-serving co-host Louise Minchin, with viewers still speculating who will be her permanent replacement.
