BBC Breakfast’s Jon Kay hits back at his red-faced co-host Sally Nugent after awkward exchange during a discussion about weight
BBC Breakfast’s Jon Kay hit back at his co-host Sally Nugent on Monday morning’s show during an awkward exchange during a segment about weight.
The TV presenter, 51, was left red-faced in embarassment after her co-host, 53, caught her looking at him while he referenced overweight men.
Jon and Sally were discussing a story which claimed men who consume more eggs are happier, according to a recent study.
Discussing a recent study, which found that more aggressive men were found to be fatter and heavier, Sally glanced over to Jon during the conversation.
She said: ‘Apparently, eating eggs, particularly for men can make you less angry,’ to which Jon jokingly shouted: ‘What!’

She continued: ‘Jon is never angry never ever, ever.
‘They studied 168 men, from 35 to 55 who had been given regression counselling by work, to diets that were compared to those of colleagues who had not been referred.
‘The more aggressive men were found to be fatter and heavier.’
Noticing Sally glancing over at him, Jon hit back and said: ‘Sorry, but you looked at me then!’
Sally awkwardly joked: ‘I didn’t know where to look that’s all! If you have more protein in your eggs, you’re said to be happier.’
Jon ended the segment saying: ‘Alright, we’ll leave it there.’
However, the comment appeared to play on Jon’s mind as he struggled to get his words out to present the next news story.
Discussing another article, he said: ‘A family who run a cafe in Kent are selling up – they’ve got 8,500 teapots to get rid of so it’s another breakfast theme.

‘They’ve got a Churchill one, they’ve got a Del Boy one.’
Jon struggled to pronounce the ‘R2-D2 teapot’ the cafe had on offer as Sally laughed at her co-host.
‘That’s difficult to say,’ Sally quipped as Jon attempted to continue on with the report.
