BBC Breakfast presenter Jon Kay has been told his biscuit dunking technique is "all wrong" by co-star Sally Nugent.

The pair were back on the famous red sofa on Wednesday (April 26) morning to discuss the latest news headlines from across the globe.

One of the topics on the agenda was Jaffa Cakes being branded the most dunkable biscuit to dip in tea.

According to research, a scientific ‘experiment’ dunked 17 of the most popular biscuits into hot water at the average temperature of a cup of tea – around 70C-75C.

Researchers recorded how long, and how many dunks, it took them to break apart.

The chocolate-covered orange jelly jaffa won the competition – despite many claiming that it is a cake rather than a biscuit.

It survived three minutes and 16 seconds before crumbling, a total of 116 dunks.

However, things didn't go to plan when Jon tried out the test live on air.

He dunked his Jaffa Cake into his tea but it didn't last and the tasty treat soon crumbled and fell apart.

Sally told her co-star that his "technique was all wrong" and that he was dunking "too slow".

The research revealed that Jaffa Cakes beat the plain digestive – many people’s favourite biscuit to dip in tea – which was found to be the first to crumble. It took just six dunks for the digestive to suc-crumb, a measly 12 seconds.

The posh Chocolate Leibniz was second and took two minutes 20 seconds before melting, and 80 dunks.

The choccie Bourbon was third, taking two minutes 28 seconds; a total of 78 dunks.

The Jaffa easily beat other biscuit favourites such as shortbread, hobnobs, chocolate digestive, custard cream, rich tea, ginger nut and plain digestive.

A spokesman for TopRated Casinos, which carried out the research, admitted the jaffa cake was “perhaps a slightly controversial winner.”

They added that the digestive was the favourite biscuit to dunk in their poll of over 2,000 people, followed closely by rich tea.
