Itβs always a pain when you lose something down the back of the sofa, whether itβs loose change, your mobile or, arguably most annoyingly of all, the remote control.
Fortunately for most, though, we donβt have to go through it on live television, unlike the βBBC Breakfastβ presenting team.
Getting their week off to a flying start, presenters Louise Minchin and Dan Walker fronted a segment about the new pound coins on Mondayβs show (27 March), though sadly it didnβt take long for Danβs gift from the Royal Mint to disappear.
Speaking to camera while her co-host rummaged behind her, Louise said: βWe have a first here, I have my pound coin, Dan has actually lost hisβ¦ down the back of the sofa.β
He was then shown popping his head up from behind the couch in the studio, explaining: βI just went for the first toss of the new pound coin, to do a heads and tails thing, and it disappeared down here somewhere.β
Oh dear.
This isnβt the only recent case of daytime telly going a bit awry for its hosts, but over on βThis Morningβ itβs usually unfortunate a double-entendre that has Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield in stitches.
Earlier this month, there were two incidents of a rogue innuendo throwing the pair off track in as many days, thanks to Gino DβAcampoβs βsausage in the holeβ faux pas, and an unfortunate slip of the tongue from Holly.
βBBC Breakfastβ airs every weekday from 6am on BBC One.
