Kate humbled on Springwatch

The latest developments on BBC2's Springwatch have got Monkey hooked – and it's nothing to do with the birds. We wondered how the on-screen chemistry would work between Kate Humble and Chris Packham, who you may remember took over from Bill Oddie. Well, it's either going very well – or very badly – Monkey can't quite work it out. Take this extraordinary exchange, 23 minutes and 30 seconds into last night's show, when Packham admitted he had lost a bet over when some chicks would fledge. "Now I know you said you are not a betting man but I think you should put your hand in your pocket," Humble told Packham. Only for Packham to reply, looking her straight in the eye: "You just haven't earned it yet baby." Humble was so lost for words Monkey thought the sound on the telly had broken. Her mouth opened – but no words came out. Forget Springwatch, welcome to Kateandchriswatch.
