Video: BBC presenter can't contain laughter after mosquito mishap Ms Minchin and her BBC Breakfast co-anchor Bill Turnbull were in the middle of a feature about how to prevent being bitten by the bugs when she managed to release several into the studio. The accident happened when she attempted to put her hand into a box containing a large number of mosquitos that guest, Dr James Logan, had brought in for the item. The presenter accidentally pulled away a piece of protective netting on one side of the box, allowing some of the mosquitos to escape, before it was hurriedly replaced. Whilst the box was soon back intact, Minchin was reduced to fits of laughter and the item was rapidly brought to an end.
