Jack Tame throws co-star under the bus

What happens on tour, stays on tour, right?

Perhaps not, if you're a presenter on TVNZ's Breakfast.

Weatherman Matty McLean was left squirming on the show on Monday morning when co-host Jack Tame made a joke about his recent trip to the Glastonbury music festival.

As the Breakfast team gathered on screen ahead of the 8am news, Hilary Barry teased an upcoming interview about drugs at festivals.

"If you go to a festival and take drugs, do you really know what you're taking?" she said to camera, as McLean struggled to keep a straight face nearby.

Tame then chose that moment to ask his colleague (and best friend of 12 years): "How was Glastonbury, Matty?"

The camera cut to McLean, who was seen with his head in his hands, before he ordered everyone to "move on".

A week ago, McLean was reminiscing on Instagram about his first trip to the famed music festival, saying "nothing beats Glastonbury in the flesh".

"You damn near killed me, but it was worth it," he wrote.

I'd heard the stories. Seen the photos. Watched YouTube clips of past performances. But nothing beats Glastonbury in the flesh. You damn near killed me, but it was worth it. Shoutout to this partner in crime @hollytmb who slept on a deflated mattress with me for four nights cos we lost the plug, who put glitter on my face, danced her little heart out with me, and stayed out til 4am on the last night to get one last photo over Glasto City. What a festival!
