BBC Breakfast suffered an embarrassing blunder as a technical glitch accidentally cut to Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt looking 'bored'.
The morning show was back on our screens to give viewers a run down on the top stories.
On Thursday (March 7) Naga, 49 and Charlie, 61 were in the Salford studio, while Jon Kay joined to discuss the final of the BBC's children's writing competition.
Called "500 Words," the competition challenges children to write engaging short stories, attracting a large number of enthusiastic participants.
Throughout the competition, the judging panel featured bestselling authors and even royalty.

Jon visited a school in Thurrock, Essex, where several students made it to the later stages of the contest.
During the broadcast, Naga and Charlie occasionally switched to Jon for updates on the evening's final.
Jon highlighted Queen Camilla's significant role in bringing the program back to schools for World Book Day.
Before the Thursday night ceremony, Jon shared a clip of Camilla discussing her childhood reading habits.
But things quickly took an awkward turn as the camera accidentally cut to Naga and Charlie looking bored while waiting for the next segment.
Once they realised the camera was on them, they quickly sat up and started improvising to fill the time.
Producers could be heard in the background trying to fix the technical glitch.
Initially, viewers couldn't hear Naga and Charlie as their microphones were off, but they eventually sorted it out, with Charlie trying to keep the mood positive.
"This is the moment Queen Camilla is talking to the surrounding group of people, all fantastically enthused by books, so let's listen in," he commented.
Naga then chimed in, improvising while the producers fixed the technical fault.

"Wow, how could you not be? They were at Buckingham Palace, and listening to the Queen, who had met all the finalists - and Jon was there with all the judges explaining what was going on," The presenter added.
Eventually, the issue was resolved and Naga and Charlie were able to introduce the next part of the show.
Naga said: "Actually we can listen to it now!"
The schedule returned to normal, and the camera cut to the interview with Camilla.
