Sally Nugent was left pleading for help from reporter Nina Warhurst on BBC Breakfast following Jon Kay’s “inappropriate” remark. Jon later apologised for a quip which went down like a lead balloon on the famous red sofa.
Jon explained: “We’ll hear about the adventures of a mischievous duck named Ham, who’s become a celebrity in his home town of Chorley.”
The presenter could not resist making a joke, adding: “And, er, talking of bills…”
“Oh God, Jon! Oh Jon!” Sally replied as co-star Nina joined beside her ahead of her cost of living crisis update.
“Sorry,” Jon told his two colleagues. “I tried. It just came to me that same thing… Nina’s here!”

Sally was not amused, adding: “Help us, Nina! Just help us!”
Nina snapped: “It’s not appropriate, Jon,” to which Sally replied. “It’s not!”
Trying to defend himself, Jon said: “It’s Monday morning!”
“It’s allowed,” Nina commented. “I am looking forward to seeing Ham. Is his nickname Hamdini because he keeps escaping?”
“We’ll find out later,” Jon teased Nina and viewers.
“I turned over to see you discussing a duck that chased people. You have become an absolute joke.”
Vinny asked: “You’re going to keep us up to date with a duck’s antics? Would rather you keep us up to date with current affairs #BBCBreakfast.”
However, Linzi, who shared a picture of Ham in a blue and white knitted scarf, added: “#Hamtheduck what an amazing duck, he is absolutely hilarious and a celeb on the #BBCBreakfast. I love him.” (sic)
Will Calligan remarked: “Watching the news is so weird. Death, BBC/BoJo payments, mass shooting, NFL player heart attack recovery, cost of living and now here’s a mischievous little duck called ‘Ham’ who keeps escaping his cage and his owner doesn’t know why!”
Elsewhere on the programme, Jon and Sally discussed the dangers of overbreeding dogs, ongoing rail strikes across the country and sexual abuse in rugby.
Labour MP Tonia Antoniazza addressed abuse claims within women’s rugby, telling viewers: “This is on a level with gymnastics, this is on a level with what’s happened in cricket.
“What is happening now, and I know it’s not just rugby, is that sporting governing bodies are not being held to account.”
BBC Breakfast continues daily on BBC One between 6am and 9.15am.
