BBC Breakfast star suffers embarrassing gaffe after replacing fan favourite

A BBC Breakfast presenter experienced a rather awkward moment on live television today.

Weatherman Matt Taylor, who was filling in for Carol Kirkwood, joined presenters Sally Nugent and Jon Kay on the morning show. The programme covered various topics, including the issue of frozen overseas pensions and Kevin Sinfield's remarkable 230-mile run to support Motor Neurone Disease causes.

Wrapping up the segment, weather presenter Matt updated viewers, stating: "Tomorrow morning, it
