Dan Walker's breakfast TV gaffe gave everyone a chuckle this morning

Muffett, not Muppet

The BBC Breakfast studios were smiling after Dan Walker misspoke this morning.

Introducing reporter Tim Muffett onto the show, Walker walked into a bit of a gaffe.

We reckon he should put the blame on the early hour.

Still, it raised the spirits of people watching.

Walker himself took to Twitter to apologise, but it seems as if Muffett could see the funny side.

There is only 1 muppet here... apologies Mr MUFFET @timmuffett
