BBC Breakfast star Charlie Stayt was caught off-guard during Thursday's episode of the show when he was captured reading a newspaper during an interview with a guest.
Charlie was keeping up to date with the day's newspaper headlines while his co-host Naga Munchetty was interviewing barrister Victoria Butler-Cole, who appeared on the programme to discuss the problems families with disabled children are experiencing with child trust funds.

Attempting to alert her co-star that he was on camera, Naga nudged him with her leg. Watch the moment in the video below.
The camera quickly cut back to Victoria, who was giving her expert advice on the way the law works for people who can't make their own decisions.
Viewers of the show picked up on the blunder and couldn't help but see the funny side. One person wrote: "Not so sneaky kick Naga [laughing face emoji]," while another added: "Charlie getting booted by Naga for reading the paper."

Naga and Charlie aren't the only BBC Breakfast hosts to be caught off-guard by the camera in recent weeks. Last month, Sally Nugent was captured gesturing to her colleague as the cameras went live in the studio.

Sally hosts the programme alongside Jon Kay from Monday to Wednesday each week, before handing over to Naga and Charlie, who present from Thursday to Saturday.
Hosting the current affairs show requires an early start for all the presenters and Naga has previously shared an insight into her morning routine.
Revealing that her alarm clock is set for 3.45am on the days that she's on the show, the journalist told The Independent earlier this year: "I don't actually need more than about five hours of sleep on the trot," adding that she sometimes treats herself to a nap in the afternoon.

Sally also sets her alarm for 3.45am, telling The Sunday Times: "I don't have a loud, scary [alarm] that gives you a coronary.
"I use a light box that gently wakes me. I have a back-up phone alarm set every five minutes from 3.50am."
