Karl Stefanovic shocked his Today show colleagues on Tuesday morning when he ate the scraps of co-star Jayne Azzopardi’s discarded breakfast.
The shock moment saw Karl, 50, grab the remains of a quiche that Jayne, 45, had placed into a rubbish bin.
In a video, which appeared to have been captured on a mobile phone, Karl rummaged through the bin and took a bite during a report Jayne was conducting about the Ibis scavenger bird, nicknamed the ‘bin chicken’, which has developed a reputation for stealing food from wheelie bins.
‘Does anyone have any hacks for when your bin doesn’t have a lid and it is actually your co-worker eating the food?’ Jayne quipped, as the camera cut to Karl grabbing the discarded pastry and appearing to take a bite.
‘Karl, that’s disgusting!’, his co-host Sarah Abo quipped.

‘Is nothing private? I devote my life to you and Sarah and you go an do the dirty on me like that,’ Karl retorted.
‘So for anyone wondering, that is the remains of my breakfast,’ Jayne told the studio.
The moment appeared to be a skit by Karl and Jayne, as it coincided with her report on the Ibis bird.
‘When the quiche is so good you turn into a bin chicken,’ the Today show captioned the footage, which was shared to Instagram.
Karl has developed a reputation for exchanging amusing banter with his co-hosts.
Earlier this month, Karl appeared to take a cheeky dig at Today fill-in co-host Jayne Azzopardi for driving a Mazda.
During the show, Karl and Jayne interviewed four Mazda car salesmen who have gone viral online after posting clips of themselves dancing erotically in order to get more people to the car dealership.
After the men reenacted the dancing video, Karl cooled off Jayne with a fan, teasing her for finding the sexy clip online while ‘researching’.

Karl’s co-star Sarah Abo labelled the act as ‘disgusting’
‘Of all the stories in the world…’ he quipped.
‘I’m a mum! I became a mum and I bought a Mazda,’ Jayne told Karl, who retorted: ‘Oh mums don’t like sexy stuff?’
She went on to say she found the clip because it was Mazda, not because of the sexy dancing.
‘Oh, you want a Mazda?’ Karl asked his co-host as he lowered his eyebrows.
‘No, I drive one already,’ she told him.
The host then quipped: ‘Oh, well you’ve gotta get a new one now!’
