BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty couldn't resist a sly dig at Matt Tebbutt during a chat about Saturday Kitchen.
Earlier in the episode, Naga, 47, had already been called out by fans for what they deemed a "poorly put" comment over teachers strikes.
Yet BBC Breakfast fans were also treated to a comeback from a previous much-loved host.
Though Naga stole the show with her witty banter with ever-cheerful Matt.
She told him: "We’re with you until 10 o’clock as usual on a Saturday but then Matt Tebbutt takes over as usual, so tell us what’s going on today."
As Matt asked the show's guests what viewers could expect, one piped up: "I’m willing in the spring Matthew. I have seen some snowdrops, I have beheld a daffodil and I am a living flower.

"I have held a daffodil, I don’t think Spring is too far away."
Matt then spoke to Naga and co-anchor Charlie Stayt in the studio and said: "What do you guys think? Is Spring not far away?"
Naga, keeping a straight face, snipped: "Well obviously not because it’s in the calendar so it will come."
Matt burst into giggles as he added: "Very good, very good. I’ll see you later."

Earlier in the episode, Naga and Charlie discussed the upcoming teacher strikes in England and Wales.
Yet after raising the issue of safety in schools due to the uncertainty about the number of teachers taking industrial action, she asked: "Do the schools have an obligation to tell you whether they will be open or not?"
She continued: "The issue is it is massive disruption for parents and for children obviously, their education being disrupted.
"And for vulnerable children, those breakfast clubs, after school clubs for those who school is an escape and place of safety?"
One fan took to Twitter to quiz: "Why is Naga giving conjecture about the safety of schools based on strike action.
"Secondly. Why is the article discussing safety of children is measured alone by the presence of school. As well as discussing it as a safeguarding issue merely for strikes. Biased. #BBCBreakfast."
