He spoke with gymnast Dominic about his Commonwealth victory four years ago.

Dominic told Mike: “Honestly, it’s one of the best times of my life.

“It’s a memory, not just me, but my family, [as I] managed to get my family over there [the last time].

“We’re not from the best background, but we managed to get over there to watch it and came back with a gold medal.

“It’s something that I’m going to treasure for a very, very long time and being here in Birmingham now it’s such a different experience.

“The last time we had a meeting on the beach, didn’t we? And now we’re on the concrete.”

Mike revealed: “I was a bit nervous about seeing Dominic today because literally four years ago after Dominic won gold and the team won gold, we met on a beach and Dominic wanted to celebrate at the end.

“And so you got us all doing somersaults, but that was on the sand, that was on the beach.

“You took over presenting as well, didn’t you? But we are on concrete now.”

The gymnast began to panic and said: “Mike, Mike… Don’t do this to me.”

But Mike added: “I’m off, I’ve got to go, I’ve got to get ready…”

A baffled Dominic said: “He always does this to me.”

The gold medallist did a backflip before speaking to Naga and Roger: “Back to you in the studio.”

“He has actually run away, Dominic,” Roger pointed out as Naga continued: “He’s gone, he has absolutely gone.”

BBC Breakfast airs weekdays at 6am on BBC One.
