BBC Breakfast presenter Jon Kay issued an on-air warning to colleague Carol Kirkwood, suggesting one particular guest could spark mayhem in the studio.
During Tuesday’s (25 November) episode of the BBC programme, the presenter was back on screens with co-host Sally Nugent, delivering the day’s major news stories from the UK and around the world.
The pair were joined by Carol, who appeared in the studio for her regular weather update. However, as she concluded the forecast, Jon highlighted that the team needed to remain vigilant ahead of their next guest.
They were preparing to welcome a “huge dog”, prompting him to advise his colleague to finish their breakfasts quickly to prevent the animal from stealing it.
Jon began by enquiring: “Have you got any toast or cereal?” Carol responded: “No but I could smell yours and it’s making me really hungry.

“We’ve been eating ours just now, getting it out of the way because there is a huge dog on the way in a moment,” Jon explained, reports the Express.
Sally confirmed: “Huge.” Jon then insisted: “You have been warned.” Sally interjected: “We’ve just had to hide our breakfast.” The team erupted with laughter as Jon gestured to his stomach and quipped: “I’ve hidden it in here.”
The touching segment featured the presenters discussing hero dogs following an incident where one man’s four-year-old dog assisted in saving his life.
Jon explained: “We’ve got an amazing story. Adam Cooke went into cardiac arrest while he was asleep, it was the quick thinking of his four-year-old dog Polly that helped save his life.”

Sally continued: “The beautiful Golden Retriever woke up Adam’s wife Hannah, who then carried out CPR before an ambulance arrived.”
The programme then transitioned to a pre-recorded segment featuring the couple and their dog, discussing the emotional incident.
Adam and Hannah confessed that they believe Polly sensed Adam was seriously ill and alerted them.
Clearly emotional, Adam shared the moment he was reunited with Polly after his hospital stay: “I’m not going to shy away from it. I cried and I think she cried too because she was like ‘wow you’re back home'”.
Hannah added: “I love her to bits and I think she is the best dog in the world.”
