The BBC Breakfast team were forced to intervene when Charlie Stayt became agitated over an awkward question.

An unexpected twist occurred just before one segment when Nina cheerfully asked Charlie about his career prospects. She announced to those watching: “It’s 8:12, now you’re looking for a new job.”

Then he jokingly put Charlie on the spot by asking, “Are you looking for a new job?” Unprepared for the question, Charlie fumbled and admitted, “I wasn’t expecting that.”

The jokes made Nina burst out laughing. The awkwardness increased as Charlie, bewildered, looked around the studio and implored. climate Presenter Simon asks for help and asks, “Umm, I don’t know, Simon, help me, am I looking for a new job?” he reports. OK!.

Simon calmly replied, “I haven’t heard Charlie, so stay there.”

Pushing a little further, Nina chimed in, “I’m just posting it, just in case you were.”

A disoriented Charlie, trying to pull himself together and reaching for his phone, commented, “Should I call someone?” That’s when the production team had to take quick action when voices were heard off-camera saying, “Call your agent!”

After concluding his talk, Charlie thanked Dr. Furtado for his insights and added, “Dr. Tamzin Furtado, thank you very much for speaking with us. Naga is going to get some water and now we are going to play sports.”

Naga took another chance to apologize before moving on.
