British Olympic success at gymnastics inspires Daybreak presenter

Watching Great Britain's men's gymnastics team in action is a sight to behold, but their feats should not be attempted at home, or on live television.

Unfortunately no-one said that to Dan Lobb, the co-presenter of ITV's Daybreak.

Having watch Great Britain's men's team win a bronze medal in the Olympic Artistic Gymnastics last night he was inspired to demonstrate his own skills by doing a handstand on this morning's programme.

To make matters more embarrassing, the most successful British figures skaters of all time, Jayne Torville and Christopher Dean, were sitting just a few feet away.

Dan Lobb later tweeted that he was "devastated" not to have executed one of his "great handstands".

Earlier in the show, the British men's Olympic team told Mr Lobb that they were "ecstatic" about winning an Olympic bronze medal despite closely losing out on a silver.
