BBC Breakfast presenters Ben Thompson and Luxmy Gopal found themselves the butt of a joke made by political journalist Laura Kuenssberg live on air
An attempt at humour during this morning's BBC Breakfast broadcast resulted in an awkward TV moment.
As they introduced the political editor, Ben commented: "Good morning! Two big heavyweights with you in the studio," referencing guests slated to appear on Laura's show. Despite the subdued reaction, Laura carried on, teasing the imminent 'heavyweights' due to feature on her show.
