Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard were the subject of an awkward on-air blunder.
The team were debating whether there should be a cull of seagulls when things got tricky for the presenting pair.
The discussion came after a miniature chihuahua was stolen by one of the scavenging birds.
The four-year-old dog called Gizmo was in a garden when a seagull swooped down flew away with the small pup in its beak.
Gizmo’s owner, Becca Hill, 24, is hoping the power of social media and the press will help reunite her with her dog.
But confusion over what viewers think of the issue led to a breakdown in communication in the studio.
Ben asked viewers: "Should there be a seagull cull as you have a lot around the country, and they are spreading?
"Lots of people around the coast will be very conscious of this, but should seagulls be protected?
"We've been running a poll on this, let's have a look."
Ben went on to reveal that 61% of viewers thought that seagulls should be culled, however Kate interrupted and said 61% said they should be protected.
This led to an awkward moment of silence as the pair tried to work out the correct statistics.
Ben said: "We will work out what the question is and then we will tell you.
"61 percent say something... we should cull the presenters."
