BBC Breakfast presenters Charlie Stayt and Luxmy Gopal were left red-faced on Thursdays instalment of the show as they were caught out by their co-star live on air
BBC Breakfast’s Charlie Stayt turned a shade of crimson on the show when his colleague called him out live.
Celebrating 60 years of Match of the Day, Charlie gushed about the theme tune’s recognisability as it played in the background. Charlie and Luxmy Gopal swayed to the music, with Charlie saying: “Everybody knows that tune!”
But Luxmy was quick to point out that earlier, Charlie had trouble recalling the melody and asked for her help. She quipped: “Well, you say that but you asked me to hum it to you earlier because you couldn’t remember it,” reports the Express.
Caught off-guard and with cameras rolling, Charlie could only offer a sheepish look to viewers at home. He shot back: “I know but as soon as you hear it, you’re taken to the programme.”
Luxmy agreed, laughing: “Absolutely, when you hear the phrase Match of the Day you’re transported.”

With Naga Munchetty away, Luxmy stepped in to join Charlie, delighting fans who usually see her during weekend broadcasts.
During the show, there was a humourous moment between Charlie and Luxmy as they spoke about a tree which was supposed to be in the shape of an elephant.
Although they were both unable to see the figure, Luxmy commented: “Well, it’s got a trunk.” However, Charlie completely didn’t catch on to the pun as he handed over to weather star Carol Kirkwood.

Asking if she was able to make out the elephant in the tree, she laughed and replied: “I liked Luxmy’s joke about having a trunk!”
Thrilled, Luxmy replied: “At least you noticed it, Carol! Nobody else, absolute tumbleweed elsewhere, but thank you, Carol for acknowledging it.”
Looking embarrassed, Charlie said: “I did miss it! Do you want to repeat it? is that more agony?”
Although they were all laughing, Luxmy told her co-star if you have to repeat a joke it doesn’t have the same impact, resulting in them awkwardly moving on.
