In one part of the show, Michael even gave Sally and Jon some tips, which the former put to good use and even hit the bullseye!

Jon posted a video of the moment on Twitter, writing in the caption: "Look what a bit of private tuition from the World Champ @bullyboy180 can do! Our ⁦@sallynugent hits the bullseye @BBCBreakfast."

Viewers took to Twitter to react to the segment, with some feeling a little bewildered. One person wrote: "[What] was the darts stunt about? Turns out Sally is a top notch darts player. Why is she wasting her time on #bbcbreakfast," while another added: "@BBCBreakfast A bit of an #AlanPartridge moment on Breakfast with the dart throwing and the professional darts player looked bewildered."

Replying to a tweet from a Good Morning Britain viewer saying they were "fed up" of Matt Hancock, who was interviewed on the show on Tuesday, another viewer wrote: "You could have sat through 20 mins of darts on #bbcbreakfast," alongside several laughing emojis.

The moment comes just a day after Carol Kirkwood returned to the show following her absence on Friday.

The weather presenter, who was temporarily replaced by meteorologist Sarah Keith-Lucas in last week's show, was recently forced to deny rumours of a feud with Naga Munchetty.

She told The Sun: "I love Naga and we just have banter. I love the camaraderie between us and everyone. It's a good, fun job."

In a separate interview with the Radio Times, she added: "We're all friends off screen as well as on screen. And everybody has each other's backs. I know sometimes I tell a joke and nobody laughs, but they will all try and rescue the situation so I don't feel like a complete idiot, which is really nice."
