BBC Breakfast star Naga Munchetty warned her co-star Mike Bushell to be careful as he managed to avoid bumping into a group of cyclists during Thursday’s programme.
The sports presenter was reporting from George Square in Glasgow, where the UCI Cycling World Championships was taking place. Just before giving his report via video link, Naga noticed that a cyclist was approaching Mike, who was standing on the edge of the cycling path and had his back turned to the competitors.

Introducing the segment following Carol Kirkwood’s weather report, co-host Charlie Stayt said: “They will be watching the weather forecast very closely in Glasgow right now because there is an enormous cycling event taking place. Around 2,700 riders competing for more than 200 gold medals.”
As Mike flashed up on the screen, Naga realised that the reporter was standing rather close to the cycling path and warned: “Careful, Mike! Careful! Look behind you, look behind you, Mike!”

Thankfully, the bike turned around the corner and didn’t clash into Mike, who stepped back in surprise. “Oop,” he said before chuckling. “It just makes me want to get on one!”
The near-blunder comes as Charlie Stayt made his return to the programme after being absent for a few shows.
