Today star Jenna Bush Hager is left red-faced after her co-host Hoda Kotb called her out for a very awkward mishap live on-air: 'That's so gross!'

Jenna Bush Hager was left red-faced during Wednesday's Today with Hoda & Jenna when her co-host was forced to remove a piece of food out of her tooth live on air and suggested that she hadn't brushed her teeth before coming to work.

As Jenna, 42, and Hoda Kotb kicked off the latest episode of the NBC show, the latter interrupted their conversation and giggled: 'You have something in your tooth. It's in there, I'm sorry!' which left the mother-of-three horrified.

'What is it? I haven't had any food today!' Jenna exclaimed looking rather embarrassed as Hoda, 59, mocked: 'Well it must have been from yesterday!' which caused the crew behind-the-scenes to burst out laughing as Jenna begged: 'Can I have something to look at my teeth!'

Taking charge of the situation, mother-of-two Hoda tore off a piece of paper and declared: 'I'll get it! Just give it to me!' as Jenna leant forward and allowed her co-host to pick the food out of her bottom teeth.

Hoda then asked her: 'Did you get it?' as Jenna replied: 'Ewwwww, I don't know! Did I?' as her co-host confirmed: 'Yeah, it's gone,' and tried to move the conversation along.

However, Jenna clearly wasn't over it and a few minutes later she blurted out: "By the way I feel what was in my teeth!' as Hoda joked it: 'You got it, from yesterday.'

'I feel it, that's so gross! I brushed my teeth twice!' Jenna claimed, as Hoda replied bluntly: 'Well, it was there. It's okay, sometimes we just miss one little spot.' 

However, one viewer tuning into the show was not impressed with the interaction and took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and wrote: 'Hoda constantly criticizes Jenna. Was it really necessary for her to embarrass her on national TV and tell her she had food in her teeth?' 

This isn't the first time the two women have discussed personal hygiene live on air and last year in July, they admitted to sharing a controversial shower habit as they debated whether or not there was a right way to wash and shave.

Today.com's editorial director Arianna Davis was on the show for a segment about the latest topics that are dividing the internet and asked the pair: 'Should you wash your feet while you're in the shower?'

Not just taking a shower, but should you specifically go down to your feet, get down there, and wash them? This is an ongoing debate,' she added.

'Oh no. No,' Hoda replied immediately. 'I just feel like everything's rolling on down that way anyway. They're getting clean.'

Jenna claimed she hadn't eaten anything in the morning as her co-host attempted to help her

The TV host described the incident as 'gross' and said she had brushed her teeth 'twice'

During an episode last July, Hoda and Jenna discussed personal hygiene with Today.com's editorial director Arianna Davis

Jenna chimed in to say that she agrees '100 per cent' with her co-star while Arianna threw up her hands and shook her head in disbelief.  

The Read with Jenna founder pushed the conversation further when she inquired about Hoda's shaving habits.  

'Do you bend down there to shave your legs?' she asked her co-star, who explained that she puts her 'leg up on the landing.' 

'So you could put your leg up there and scrub those little feet,' Jenna noted. 

However, Hoda pointed out that Jenna wouldn't do that, and she agreed: 'You know I wouldn't!'

Davis made it clear that she did not agree with the co-hosts, saying she is 'down there scrubbing in between the toes.'
