BBC Breakfast: Present Jon exclaims 'I can't believe it'
BBC Breakfast's Jon Kay was left baffled over a segment on Monday's show.
During the latest instalment, the popular breakfast show aired an advent calendar segment with some luxury advent calendars priced at a staggering £640.
However, Jon, 54, was left baffled that people would pay that much with co-presenter Sally Nugent saying: "Jon can barely look, look at Jon’s face" to which he exclaimed: "I can't believe this! I cannot believe this, people saying they pay £40 even just seems an extraordinary amount of money.”
Jon humorously added: "I just told Sally I'll make her one just like you used to make in the old days" to which Sally, 53, replied: "I already know, I’m going to get you the beard grooming one."
However, Jon was left perplexed over a beard grooming advent calendar, questioning: "I have to do that for 24 days? How much beard grooming can you take!" He added that he had plenty of questions but thankfully there are 100 days until Christmas to answer them all.
Meanwhile, viewers were also left baffled over the segment. Taking to Twitter, now X, BBC Breakfast shared the following post: "Would you spend hundreds of pounds on a luxury advent calendar? On #BBCBreakfast with exactly 100 days until Christmas, Nina has been looking at their popularity."
Viewers were quick to respond as one person said: "No way!" while a different account put: "I love the advent calendars with just the old fashioned pictures behind the windows, my wife buys me one every year for my birthday on the 1st Dec and she says they are getting really hard to find these days" while another added: "It’s September….."
It comes as Jon shared the 'proudest moment' of his life on last Monday's show. Talking about their weekend during the programme, Jon revealed he entered a baking competition at the local village show, entering the men-only baking competition, where he rustled up some tasty cheese and onion pasties.
A picture was shown of a tasty-looking creation to which co-star Sally was left baffled as she exclaimed: "You made that?" with Jon responding: "I made it!" The host then added: "You might be able to spot a rosette in the bottom left of the picture, Sally..." with Sally replying: "Jon, look at you!" However, there was more news to be shared as Jon asked: "What's the number on the rosette?" with Sally sarcastically asking: "Did you win?" to which an excited Jon exclaimed: "I won it!"
Sally added: "You won first prize in a baking competition!" Explaining the competition, Jon said: "Contrary to my children's speculation there were other people taking part in it, I think there were about 10, maybe 12?" A pictured was shown of Jon proudly holding his creation to which Sally joked he looked as though he was in 'disguise'.
However, Jon pointed out a detail as he commented that he wasn't sure if any of the judges actually tried it as there were no bite marks as it had only been cut open. Talking about the milestone, Jon declared: "Proudest moment of my weekend, my life probably!" adding to Sally: "A little praise would be nice!"
