Louise Minchin: BBC Breakfast’s plea for ‘help’ as co-star Mike Bushell reacts to news | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Elsewhere, the BBC Breakfast host addressed her concern for her colleague Dan’s preparation for the indoor bike challenge.

The Football Focus host had been tucking into a bag of treats including various chocolates and crisps.

Taking to Twitter, Dan wrote: “I’ve already eaten those mini eggs you gave me.”

To which Louise replied: “How am I not surprised!”

Tonight, Comic Relief and Children In Need are joining together for one night to create The Big Night In, which will be broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer.

As part of the fundraising effort, Louise will host the Big Bike In alongside the main show, which will see her bike 100-miles on indoor cycling app Zwift, starting at 5pm with a planned break for the weekly Clap for Carers at 8pm.
