It wasn’t only the weather report that left viewers feeling the chill on BBC Breakfast after host Naga Munchetty called Carol Kirkwood “frosty" - just days after denying they are in a "feud."
On Thursday morning, the 47-year-old presenter made the comment in an awkward exchange with the weather reporter, after she gave her latest forecast to viewers.
Carol, 60, wore a navy blue dress with a light blue collar, as she described the ice-cold conditions expected across the country today.
She explained: "It's going to be another cold night. Maybe the risk of ice and once again, a widespread frost.”
She added: "But Charlie [Stayt] and Naga, things for most look like they're going to turn a bit milder as we go through the weekend."
Naga took a moment to make a light-hearted comment about her co-star’s outfit, as she suggested was sporting the colour for the cold weather.
"You're perfectly matched to the weather today, aren't you?" Naga commented immediately after. She continued: "Like... frosty," as Carol turned to the screen behind her to check.
"Thank you, Naga," she responded awkwardly before laughing. "That is more good luck than good planning, I have to say.”
"It looks lovely," Naga remarked kindly before thanking her co-star.
Fans had already spotted some “tension” between the duo, but both professionals kept smiling even though it seemed to be more than on-screen banter.
It comes after Carol denied all rumours of a “feud” with Naga and instead insisted that they “absolutely” have a positive relationship and enjoy a laugh together.
Carol told The Sun: "I love Naga and we just have banter. I love the camaraderie between us and everyone. It’s a good, fun job."
The long-running presenter also expressed how much she “loved” her job at the BBC, and that she didn’t want to leave the show anytime soon.
"I love my job," she continued. "I love the variety, I love the weather, I love the outside broadcasts and the fact that we get to meet everyone when you're out and about, and you get to see different parts of the country as well that you may not otherwise have seen."
