TVNZ Breakfast host Matty Mclean caused giggles in the studio when he presented the weather in a purple dinosaur costume.
During Thursday's episode, Breakfast hosts Anna Burns-Francis, Jenny-May Clarkson and John Campbell are seen laughing away on the couch before Burns-Francis introduces their "hero" who decided to have a costumechange.
A purple dinosaur then appears in front of the weather screen.

Mclean admits he has done some stupid things on air, before explaining why he was wearing the suit.
Yesterday, Burns-Francis reported in her news bulletin that people were trying to spread some cheer in New York by dressing up as dinosaurs and monsters.
After the report, one of the hosts kindly reminded viewers that the producers had a spare dinosaur costume lying around — and it looks like McLean drew the short straw.
"The arms are the most ridiculous," he says before another host reveals there has been a special request from viewers to point to Kāpiti.
