A little television! Hilarious moment friendly cat crashes live BBC Breakfast broadcast, and viewers love the reporter’s reaction
This is the hilarious moment a friendly cat stole the show during a live BBC Breakfast report.
Earlier this week, reporter Dave Guest traveled to Manchester to film a segment about residential alleyways that have been turned into community ‘ginnel gardens’.
The announcer began the live report by walking down one of the alleys, which had been commissioned by the Royal Horticultural Society.
But when he went to sit on a bench next to some potted sunflowers, the reporter was joined by a surprise guest.
After discreetly sneaking out the garden gate, a beautiful white cat ran up and jumped on the bench to make a ruckus.
Taking it in stride, Dave, who had been informing viewers about RHS’s involvement in the project, stopped and said, ‘Oh hi!
I have an unexpected guest. Hello!’
Startled by the rest of the crew, the cheeky feline looked directly into the camera.
Dave continued: ‘(Ginnel’s Garden) was on display at the Tatton Flower Show a couple of weeks ago.
“Then it was uprooted and transplanted to this ginnel on Moss Side.”
As he said this, Dave’s feline friend happily rubbed against his back and then sat on the other side of the bench.
He continued: “I will speak to the RHS in a moment about why they are so interested in the ginnel gardens.”
Turning his attention back to the cat, Dave gave them a quick smack on the back and said, ‘Hello!’

BBC Breakfast’s feline friend guest also proved to be a hit on Twitter, where viewers praised Dave’s handling of the situation.
One replied: ‘Nice. Very professional as he didn’t scare it away.
Another added: “What a beautiful cat, just looking for love.”
Meanwhile, a third joked: “They describe it as friendly, but it was more likely the cat was saying ‘you’re in my seat!

However, this isn’t the first time a cheeky cat has made a surprise appearance on BBC news.
In June, royal historian Marlene Koenig was being questioned by newscaster Sally Bundock when her cat jumped on her lap during the live interview.
The expert appeared on BBC News shortly after 5am UK time via video call from her home in Virginia.
Just minutes into their discussion, Marlene’s tabby cat, Fleur, jumped into the historian’s lap to get her attention.
Fortunately, Marlene anticipated her feline’s actions and grabbed her cat and quickly placed it back on the ground with one swift movement.
