In the picture that went viral, French player Kylian Mbappé, 23, was consolling Moroccan Achraf Hakimi, 24, after their loss to France in the World Cup.

But the BBC News presenter took to social media to admit her surprise.

Fellow TV presenter Rick Edwards tweeted the photo as he wrote: “Is that a consolation in your pocket, or are you pleased to see me?”

Whilst the BBC presenter saw the tweet ad used it to admit her own surprise at seeing the now iconic picture.

She wrote: “Goodness. Well, that’s woken me up. All your other news available with me and the team on @BBCOne @BBCNews and internationally on @BBCWorld.”

Fans flooded the comments section with their own jibes in reaction to the snap.

One remarked: “He seems to have a handle on things!.”

Whilst another said: “This was only a ‘semi’ imagine how happy he’ll be in the final.”

A third fan said: “Pointing the way home for him Victoria…”

A fourth joked: “That’s the case for shorts over budgie smugglers run by.”

A fifth wrote: “What a striker, he really has the full package!!”

This came just before host, Naga Munchetty slammed her co-host while discussing a “simple” festive tradition.

Show anchor Naga, 47, and Roger Johnson, 53, were discussing Christmas Day food selections, including gravy on a roast.

Yet it was during a discussion about a controversial festive veg – this being the much-maligned sprout – when Naga made clear her views.

As Roger said his family were “going to do things differently this year”, he told how they would be having a beef roast – and may leave the sprout out.

BBC Breakfast favourite Naga then fired back: “Why won’t you have sprouts? So?”

She then said: “I love sprouts.”

Naga – who called on show viewers to submit their best gravy recipes – then confessed: “I put a twist on them.

“If I can, I have them with onion and pancetta,” to which Roger said: “Ah that’s a Jamie Oliver recipe!”

Yet she snipped back: “Yes, and many others … It’s quite a simple recipe really.”

Jamie is well-known for re-vamping the image of the sprout with his Best Christmas Sprouts recipe, including Cumberland sausage and sage.

Yet despite having “simple” sprouts, Naga told how she would treat herself on Christmas Day with “posh gravy” which she will likely spend with husband James Haggar.
