BBC Breakfast's Charlie Stayt was left red-faced and issuing an apology to viewers following an unfortunate mishap during the show's broadcast on Friday (March 14). Charlie and Nina Warhurst fronted the morning programme, which experienced a technical hiccup during weatherman Matt Taylor's live segment from Cheltenham. The sound difficulties abruptly halted Matt's update, forcing the camera to switch back to the studio where Charlie and Nina quickly had to improvise. "OK, my apologies. We seem to have... Matt is still talking, we can't hear him! That's a problem," declared Charlie. He humourously added: "Matt, I think you could hear me then, which is slightly awkward because he's still there listening now." Following a brief conversation seemingly with the production team off-air about the situation, Charlie sought to reassure those tuned in that Matt would return: "Is that going to get any better? Do we go back to Matt? No, we're going to leave that for the time. We will get a full weather forecast from Cheltenham with Matt and we'll get all of that sorted out." Nina interjected her concern for the audience, saying: "We know how important the weather is to everyone watching!" The on-air snafu sparked a response from audiences on social media. A number suggested that in future, it might be wiser for the weather updates to take place within the safety of the studio rather than on location, reports the Express . "So we can't hear Matt the weather guy who's at Cheltenham for some reason. Suggestion - stay in the studio next time. #bbcbreakfast," commented one viewer on social media. A second said: "#bbcbreakfast Why did he need to be in Cheltenham? Now we can't hear him.. T**s..." (sic) Following a small on-air hiccup, Matt made a swift return to BBC Breakfast, this time accompanied by Mike Bushell live from the Cheltenham Racecourse. The duo promised more weather updates and news from the Cheltenham Festival, but they were soon caught off guard as a group of horses started heading in their direction. Without missing a beat, Mike and Matt wrapped up their segment in haste, dodging the equine interlopers with fits of laughter as they scooted away. BBC Breakfast airs at 6am on weekdays on BBC One
