BBC Look North presenter Peter Levy, 71, struggled to compose himself after making a wordplay joke about colleague Phillip Norton during a live broadcast.

BBC Look North presenter Peter Levy made a joke about colleague Phillip Norton during Wednesday's programme. After Norton presented a newscast ending with a close-up of a Dacia Sandero car, Levy wrapped up and said: 'I love the car names. Phillip Norton, who is always looking for an escort.' The remark played on both the car model and the Ford Escort, a well-known vehicle.

Visibly entertained by his own innuendo, Levy burst into a beaming smile and giggled as he tried to continue the broadcast. He chuckled through the final seconds before being joined by weather presenter Paul Hudson. Viewers reacted positively on social media, with comments praising his 'cheeky one liners' and describing him as a 'comedic genius'.

Levi is renowned for his playful humour on the programme. Previously, he struggled to contain laughter after accidentally making a racy innuendo while discussing parking lines in Goole, remarking about 'extra inches' when the lines were to be repainted wider.
