This BBC Wimbledon reporter hugged a guest and made things SO awkward

Thanks God that’s over.

BBC BREAKFAST’S MIKE Bushnell loves a good hug.

Bring it in.

The sports presenter apologised this morning after hugging one of the guests, tennis star Marion Bartoli, when he was called out by Charlie Stayt back in the studio.

If the hug alone wasn’t awkward enough, he went into a big explanation as to why he did it.

Oh NO.

You’re one of the cuddliest people I’ve ever met. So I had to hug you again this year. You exude warmth and charisma and it’s natural to hug, and I’m a huggy person. I don’t think Marion was offended by it?

Ground. Swally us up.

So there you have it, if anyone says you’re too touchy feely, give them a lengthy spiel about how warm they are.

    Must have taken a leaf out of Galatasaray’s book, I’d say. Not a smart thing to do.

    Terrible performance by arsenal , no shot on target, ridiculous playing Ozil out wide, too easy for Chelsea

    Horrible tackle by Cahill. He is lucky he didn’t do some serious damage to Sanchez.

    Arsenal were let down by their final ball and by Ozil in particular. Was a real derby game. Both sides were were lucky to finish with 11 men. The goals came from two moments of magic, only one of which Chelsea were capable of producing last year.

    Arsenal will definitely do better than last year,
    need to draw at least as 9 points behind will
    be too much to chase.Arsenal need ideally to
    win.

    Jose record against Utd, arsenal, city and Liverpool: played 32, lost 3. You should probably have another go at that.

    I think that should go;

    Chelsea> Man City> Southampton> Man Utd……..and if you could be arsed typing it all out you’ll eventually get to Asenal> Liverpool.

    Not sure how to feel about Fabregas.

    I love and hate him all at once

    Suppose its not his fault that Wenger didn’t sign him, apparently cesc wanted it to happen
