Sally Nugent was in stitches over her BBC Breakfast co-star Jon Kay’s relatable parenting admission on Tuesday’s edition of the show.
The pair were discussing Coleen Rooney’s latest social media post, in which she shared her anxiety about leaving her four boys at home as she heads into the I’m A Celebrity jungle ahead of the 2024 series.
Introducing the story, Sally asked viewers: “Now how does jumping on a plane to Australia and leaving your children behind for a few weeks sound?“
Jon quipped: “Brilliant,” prompting laughter from his co-host Sally, who shares a son with her ex-husband, Gavin Hawthorn.
“Go on then! Can you imagine?” asked Sally.
Jon, who shares three children with his wife Francesca Kasteliz, added: “Yes, let’s go!” to which his co-star gave a two-word response: “Not me!”

“I want to experience something different, do something for myself and meet new people. I’m really looking forward to doing the trials,” she said. “There’s been a lot of news saying I am exempt because of various illnesses. But I can confirm I can do every trial, so I am not excluded from any, and I am looking forward to it.”
Coleen also revealed the arrangements she had put in place for her boys, Kai, 13, Klay, 10, Kit, seven, and Cass, five, during her absence. “We’ve done letters to Father Christmas today so they’ll get posted on the way to school tomorrow, which was another thing I wanted to do before I go,” she said, adding: “I am really anxious about leaving the kids, that’s my biggest thing, for weeks and months that’s been on my mind.”
