TVNZ Breakfast hosts John Campbell and Jenny-May Clarkson have come under fire for teasing their co-host Matty McLean about his weight on-air.
Clarkson kicked things off by asking McLean if he had been to the gym yet, after catching him adjusting his trousers.
Campbell also made a joke about Elvis, who notoriously gained weight later in his career - while co-host Melissa Stokes referenced the "Covid-5", which is what her family calls weight gain during the Covid-19 pandemic.
