And with Halloween fast approaching, they sent their roving reporter Ben Boulos to a pumpkin farm in Harpenden.

Ben joined Charlie and Naga as he stood with a variety of pumpkins and squashes.

He then played a game with the pair, testing them to see if they knew the difference between the two types.

Naga kicked off the competition by correctly guessing that Musquee De Provence was indeed a squash.

But Charlie 61, wasn't as clued-up and failed to identify a Warty Goblin as a pumpkin.

The game resulted in Charlie scoring zero points as Naga correctly guessed all her pumpkins and squashes.

Ben, 39, then told the anchor: “Two-nil to Naga! Naga you know your cucurbits, Charlie I think you’re this morning’s pumpkin I’m afraid, sorry.”

Gloating at her win, Naga joked: “Can we call him, what’s the warty goblin one? Can we call Charlie’s nickname that today?”

Charlie was less than impressed as he declared the entire game as "stupid".

But Naga had the last laugh and swiped back saying: “That’s set the morning up perfectly, hasn’t it? Warty Goblin.”

BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One and iPlayer.
