Today star Danika Mason is left red-faced after dog Charlie causes mayhem in studio: 'What a day!'
Danika Mason was left scrambling on Friday morning after her dog Charlie caused adorable mayhem in the studio during a live broadcast. To mark Bring Your Dog to Work Day, the Today show sports reporter, 34, brought her beloved pet into work to perform some tricks - but things didn't quite go according to plan. Danika, dressed in a chic electric blue suit, attempted to deliver her sports bulletin while encouraging Charlie to sit politely with the help of a treat. But her on-air report quickly descended into chaos when Charlie began barking loudly, sparking another studio pup named Oscar to join in. Moments later, Charlie bolted across the set, running laps around the studio and running up to the desk of surprised co-hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo, leaving Danika flustered. Despite the unexpected on-air moment, Danika took it all in good humour - later sharing a hilarious behind-the-scenes video to social media. 'Started in Bondi. Ended in studio with dog. What a day,' she captioned a clip showing herself posing confidently with Charlie. In February, it was revealed that Danika would be replacing Alex Cullen on Today after he was sensationally axed for accepting $50,000 from The Block billionaire Adrian Portelli. Danika said it was a dream come true to be sharing the Today desk with Sarah Abo, Karl Stefanovic, Jayne Azzopardi and Tim Davies. 'I'm truly honoured and so excited to be joining Today. It's been a dream of mine since I was a kid, waking up every morning to watch the show as I set my sights on a career in sports broadcasting,' she said in a statement to Daily Mail Australia. 'It's also a full-circle moment for me at Nine because, just 10 years ago, my first-ever job at the network was producing sport for Today. 'I'm also very grateful that I'll still be working with the Wide World of Sports crew on the footy every week throughout the NRL season.' Nine also revealed that US correspondent Alison Piotrowski has been appointed as co-host of Weekend Today. Charlie bolted across the set, running laps around the studio and running up to the desk of surprised co-hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo, leaving Danika flustered She will join Clint Stanaway, Lizzie Pearl and Dan Anstey on the desk. 'After four years of crossing to the show from weird time zones across North America, it feels surreal to be waking up with Weekend Today back home in Australia,' Alison said. 'It's an honour, and I can't wait for the year ahead.' Danika previously presented Wide World of Sports and is a sideline reporter for Nine's NRL coverage. Daily Mail Australia previously revealed she was one of the front runners for Alex's presenting role on the breakfast show.

BBC Radio host drops F word live on air as he struggles with cramp – as fans threaten to call Ofcom
BBC Radio host Ian Skye dropped the F word live on-air as he struggled a with cramp today, prompting fans to threaten Ofcom complaints. Ian, who hosts the mid-morning show on BBC Radio Derby, was caught off guard when a painful cramp caused him to swear live on air, mistakenly thinking he was off the microphone. The awkward moment came just one day after he and his team had completed a course aimed at improving their broadcasting skills. During the broadcast, listeners overheard Ian suddenly cry out, "Ow, f***ing hell," before the program quickly resumed with his co-hosts chatting following a song. In a lighthearted response, Ian's co-host joked about the timing, saying: "I don't think they suggested suddenly getting unbearably agonising cramp and shouting really loud on the radio." Ian replied with a hesitant laugh: "No, that's probably not what I should have come in and done today." He then acknowledged the slip-up, saying: "Can I just say, if before that amazing song from Kate Bush, and I say if. You'd have had to be deaf if you didn't hear a rude word." He went on to offer a heartfelt apology: "I really profusely apologise. You know when something happens and it's just instinct. My very, very calm producer said 'you're still on the radio, Ian.'" TV critic Scott Bryan highlighted the moment on social media with the comment: "We now cross over to BBC Radio Derby." The clip quickly sparked reactions online. One listener wrote: "Known Ian for 30 yeas. He is a good guy. This is a moment and it has passed. Why we still feel the need to pretend to be shocked in a 24/7 unedited world is beyond me. Plus, it is possibly one of the most entertaining things on BBC derby in years!" Others shared their amusement, with one saying: "I honestly think this is my moment of the year," and another adding, "I have laughed so hard at this so many times, thank you for posting it, thank you so much." Moment BBC presenter gives middle finger to the camera live on air Many praised Ian's quick recovery: "Perfectly managed. Swore, made a joke. Didn't make a big deal of it. Really well handled." However, not everyone was amused. Some expressed concern, with one listener remarking: "Tens of people in the Derby and the Derby area will have heard a swearword, and you're laughing." Another commented: "Did not apologise straight away, made a joke instead. Ofcom warning." Ian has been a radio presenter for more than 13 years, with experience at stations including Radio Wyvern in Worcester, as well as others in Kent, Newcastle, and Teesside. It was at Radio Wyvern where he adopted his professional name. His real surname is Wickens - but his managers suggested it wouldn't fit well in jingles. Inspired by the Isle of Skye, he chose the name Ian Skye. This incident draws a parallel with a similar moment involving Maryam Moshiri in December 2023, when she accidentally raised her middle finger on live BBC News. At the time, Maryam explained: "Hey everyone, yesterday just before the top of the hour I was joking around a bit with the team in the gallery. "I was pretending to count down as the director was counting me down from 10-0.. including the fingers to show the number. So from 10 fingers held up to one. "When we got to 1 I turned finger around as a joke and did not realise that this would be caught on camera. It was a private joke with the team and I'm so sorry it went out on air!" 2
