BBC presenter Naga Munchetty fumed at co-host Charlie Stayt on Saturday (14) while a segment aired, according to a report. But, she appeared to be unaware that she was live on TV.
Broadcast journalist Munchetty, 47, said that Stayt was 'ignoring' her, before ordering a member of the production crew to 'get him', reported the MailOnline.
According to the report, her meltdown began when he told a guest they could 'tootle off for a coffee' as the helmet-clad pair filmed a live cycling piece in Salford Quays.
She could be heard saying: "Again, ignoring me! Can someone just go out and get him. Please. Look... look at that. Ridiculous. Seriously, we've got an hour and a half left of broadcasting to do. Can someone go out and get him?'
Addressing viewers once facing the camera, Naga said: "I'm gonna get someone to bring Mr Stayt back to the studio. He will be back, trust me."
The BBC did not immediately respond to MailOnline for comment.
The incident occurred just days after she accidentally said prime minister Boris Johnson had 'spent his first night in prison', meaning Boris Becker.
Munchetty mistakenly said the prime minister had spent a night in prison as part of a morning news bulletin - meaning former Wimbledon champion Becker.
"Three times Wimbledon champion Boris Johnson has spent his first night in prison. He was sentenced to two-and-a-half years for hiding assets to avoid paying debts," she was quoted as saying by the MailOnline.
She was cleared of a BBC bias probe in 2019 by then director-general Tony Hall.
The newsreader had criticised president Donald Trump's comments against women of colour in Congress.
She had remarked on the breakfast show that when she had heard the phrase directed at her, it had been 'embedded in racism'.
After an initial probe found her to have broken the rules, the director-general intervened and threw out the accusation.

Police may probe anti-Israel comments at Glastonbury
BRITISH police said they were considering whether to launch an investigation after performers at Glastonbury Festival made anti-Israel comments during their shows.
"We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon," Avon and Somerset Police, in western England, said on X late on Saturday (28).
Irish hip-hop group Kneecap and punk duo Bob Vylan made anti-Israeli chants in separate shows on the West Holts stage on Saturday. One of the members of Bob Vylan chanted "Death, death, to the IDF" in a reference to the Israel Defense Forces.
"Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation," the police statement said.
The Israeli Embassy in Britain said it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival".
Prime minister Keir Starmer said earlier this month it was "not appropriate" for Kneecap to appear at Glastonbury.
The band's frontman Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with a terrorism offence last month for allegedly displaying a flag in support of Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah at a concert in November. He has denied the charge.
A British government minister said it was appalling that the anti-Israel chants had been made at Glastonbury, and that the festival's organisers and the BBC broadcaster - which is showing the event - had questions to answer.
Health secretary Wes Streeting said he was also appalled by violence committed by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.
"I'd also say to the Israeli Embassy, get your own house in order in terms of the conduct of your own citizens and the settlers in the West Bank," Streeting told Sky News.
"I wish they'd take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously," he said.
