Viewers inundated the comment section, as one wrote: “Just knew he would get to Breakfast when he first appeared on BBC North East. Great character.”

Last year, the BBC weatherman caused a storm on social media after he finished his forecast and filmed himself playing the drums to the BBC News theme tune.

At the time, Owain tweeted: “When they said try working from home I didn’t realise they’d expect me to do the music too.”

Appearing on Breakfast, the meteorologist was given a warm welcome from hosts Jon Kay and Naga Munchetty.

Jon began: “With us in the studio this morning, is Owain. I keep wanting to say welcome to the Breakfast studios but you should be welcoming us.

“This is your home isn’t it?”

Owain chuckled: “Yes, North West Tonight goes out from this studio as well. It does look a little different. You’ve changed the colour of lights.”

He added: “I like what you’ve done with the place.”

Naga replied: “Thank you very much.”

BBC Breakfast airs daily on BBC One at 6am.
