BBC Breakfast star Jon Kay wrote a hilarious response to a viewer who complained about Tuesday's edition of the show.
The episode saw Jon host segments of the programme from a primary school in Abergavenny, Wales to celebrate the launch of the UK's biggest children's writing competition, 500 Words.
During the show, Jon was joined by Hacker The Dog and while many viewers loved seeing the iconic children's puppet make an appearance, one person wasn't impressed.
They wrote on X: "Why have a rude stuffed puppet on in front of children?"

Fans took to the comments section to praise Jon for his reply, with one person writing: "Touche @jonkay01. I loved the piece with Sir Lenny in the Palace," while another dropped a GIF showing a woman spitting out her drink with laughter.
Many viewers, however, praised Hacker's appearance on the programme and were keen to see more of the puppet.

A third person tweeted: "Might start a petition so Hacker T Dog can be a permanent presenter."
Elsewhere in the episode, a prerecorded clip showed Jon and Sir Lenny Henry, one of the judges of the writing competition, make a trip to Buckingham Palace, where the final will be held next year.

The royal signed off the letter with the words: "The hunt is on. We seek a star. The best of luck – Camilla R."
