Another viewer weighed in: @BBCBreakfast @BBCNaga wow not only does Charlie wear those whacky socks, I think you should get the BBC superstar breakfast team to chip in and bid for @adam_peaty budgie smugglers.”
The viewer’s “budgie smuggler” tweet even sparked a tongue in cheek response from reporter Mike Bushell.
The BBC Breakfast star and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant replied: “And I can confirm thanks to @adam_peaty it’s only a pound to enter the raffle to win those racing trunks @BBCNaga present for Charlie?”
BBC Breakfast continues every weekday at 6am on BBC One.
