BBC Breakfast star says 'that's not good' as co-host announces surprising news

Luxmy Gopal told her co-star, "That's not good," after he announced some surprising news on Monday's BBC Breakfast.During one segment, Ben revealed the latest statistics about where most people eat their tea or dinner in the evenings.

However, when he explained that some people have admitted to eating in bed, Luxmy was left taken aback. Kicking off the discussion, Ben asked his co-star: "Thoughts on having your phone at the dinner table?"

"I would say just hygiene-wise, it is not ideal because you know, your phone has a lot of bacteria on it," Luxmy replied. "You use it a lot without washing your hands, there is just a lot of dirt there."

Ben went on to point out that many people sit at their tables and scroll on their phones or watch TV while they eat instead of talking to their family.

"I understand watching TV, it's kind of a classic, it's how TV dinners were a thing," Luxmy went on. "Watching TV while you eat os quit common."

Ben then read out some of the statistics that had been reported. He said: "Three percent eat their dinner in a bedroom..."

Before Ben could continue, Luxmy looked disgusted and responded, "Ohhh, that is not good. That doesn't seem hygienic."

Ben then gave the statistics for how many people stood in the kitchen while they ate.

"Standing up?" Luxmy said in surprise. "That can't be comfortable or enjoyable. I don't think that is good for your digestion, is it?"

"I am actually surprised that it is as high as that," Luxmy added after Ben said a quarter of people sit at a table and eat together.

"I think that is quite encouraging," she said as Ben chimed in. But the phone has to be away. You can't have it sat on the table because then it is like you're waiting for something better to come along."

Elsewhere in the show, Carol Kirkwood was in the studio to present the latest weather forecast, while John Watson gave the latest sports updates.

BBC Breakfast airs daily at 6am on BBC One.
