BBC Breakfast's Jon Kay says 'not talking about you' as he 'snubs' guest on air

On Wednesday's episode of BBC Breakfast, viewers saw an adorable labradoodle puppy named Bowie on the sofa alongside Jon Kay and Sally Nugent.

The pooch has been lending a paw to a charity aiming to dismantle the stigma associated with seeking help amid the cost of living crisis, especially over Christmas.

Bowie appeared on the show with his owner Ollie Foster and Keely Dalfin, the charity's Chief Executive. Jon couldn't resist commenting on the adorable guest: "What a cutie!"

Ollie also mentioned that during deliveries, many people are eager to step outside just to meet Bowie. The Brick, based in Wigan, redistributes surplus items donated by businesses to local families in need, reports the Express.
