Can you tell what’s wrong with this picture? Today viewers notice a VERY awkward detail as weatherman Steve Jacobs pretends to ride a broomstick while dressed as Harry Potter
Steve Jacobs has returned to the Today show with a bang.
The 53-year-old triumphantly stepped back into his role as Today’s weather presenter on Monday morning, before leaving viewers stunned with a rather awkward Harry Potter-inspired segment.
During the scene, a sprightly-looking Steve emerged in full Harry Potter costume as he pretended to fly around on a wooden broomstick.
Thanks to the low camera angle used throughout the segment however, the father-of-two’s broomstick unfortunately also resembled a comically large phallus.
Further, the manner in which he straddled the broomstick was suggestive of a solo sexual act.
Steve took no notice, however, and continued presenting the segment with his trademark gusto.

‘Let’s have a look what’s happening with the weather as we’re up here flying around on our broomsticks!’ he exclaimed, gyrating backwards and forwards on the wooden prop.
As the segment came to a close, host David Campbell couldn’t help but advise Steve: ‘I want you to go back and watch this segment. Just watch what you are doing and get back to us.’
‘Is it reminding you of lockdown, David?’ Steve joked.
