The enthusiastic punter told the amused presenter "cheers" as he raised his glass and then downed it.

She had said to him "I'm going to let you get back to the drinking, you have a great day", before he responded with the toast.
Drinkers have been sinking breakfast pints this morning as pubs threw open their doors from 6am.
Excited Brits have hit pubs across England for Super Saturday as locals reopened after a four-month lockdown.
Gasping punters queued ahead of the early morning start before tucking into breakfast bevvies.
Fire protection installers Ben Clark, 33, Curtis Birch, 22, and Connor Cowen, 22, were first in line after finishing a night shift in Birmingham city centre
Ben said he’d been craving a pint since the start of lockdown, adding: “We walked past and saw the lights on and got ourselves booked in.”
Some 15 million pints are expected to be sank throughout the day and 23,000 locals back in business - with the price of a pint hiked up by many chains.
Some of the other rules included to keep people safe from Saturday will include:
- Pubs will be allowed to show the football - but only with the sound on quietly to stop droplets spreading when people shout
- People are only allowed to go to the pub with one other household
- Customers will have to leave their contact details with pubs or restaurants for 21 days - so they can be tracked if there is an outbreak
- A limit on numbers inside a venue at any one time
- People should be encouraged to use contactless payments rather than cash
- Customers should stay seated at the table and wait to be served rather than going up to the bar
- Tables must be as spaced out as possible to keep a distance, and venues should be kept ventilated

But the Prime Minister has urged Brits to be "sensible" and stick to the rules, despite the restrictions being relaxed - he threatened more local lockdowns if Brits don't behave today.
Pubs were allowed to open from 6am today, with Wetherspoons throwing open the doors of 750 pubs at 8am.
And Health Secretary Matt Hancock told the Daily Mail that people were entitled to enjoy themselves at pubs but added: "You could end up behind bars if you break the law."
He said: "I'm no killjoy, but the virus can still kill. I don't want to see bars and pubs have to close again. I love going to the pub and enjoy a pint or two."

Pubs shut their doors when they were ordered to temporarily close amid the pandemic, but the Government gave the green light to start serving again today.
Restaurants and cafes are also allowed to start serving customers again and not just for takeaways.
Pubs couldn't open until 6am - just in case anyone wanted to try and get a late-night pint in.
And it will depend on the licence that each pub has as to when they can actually serve you a drink - so some may not be flinging open their doors quite so early.
SUPER SATURDAY
The weather is set to dampen spirits as a month's worth of rain is expected to fall in 24 hours.
Unseasonably strong winds and heavy rain are expected to batter the country over the weekend as many Brits may rethink plans of flocking to newly reopened pub beer gardens.
And tragically, the Swan Inn in Ashford, Kent, has been forced to rethink welcoming 200 booked punters after a car crashed into it overnight.
We've also reported on a new map showing you which beer gardens will be open this weekend.
Pubs have been kitted out with screens, posters and floor markings to help keep customers safe.
But Greene King pubs are not to due to return and welcome customers until Monday - to give landlords and managers enough time to make sure branches are "Pubsafe" - or Covid-19 secure.
New rules as restrictions relax:
PUBS: Screens up to protect staff and tables a metre apart, with one-way systems. Table service or app ordering in place. Up to six people can sit outside but if indoors you can't mix with another household. Live music is banned and shouting is not encouraged. Booking tables in advanced is required in many spots.
EATING OUT: Cafes and restaurants are now open, but must keep distancing in place. Again no more than six to a table, and screens and one-way systems should be in place. Most places will only take bookings and only table service is allowed. Most venues will only allow contactless or app payments.
CINEMAS: Showcase is the only chain reopening all cinemas today. There will be allocated seats, online booking and staggered film times and cinema-goers must download tickets.
WEDDINGS: Marriages and civil partnerships are allowed only 30 people, including the couple, witnesses and officiants. Small socially-distanced celebrations should take the place of receptions. Only two households can be close indoors and up to six people outdoors.
DAYS OUT: Theme parks, adventure parks and funfairs can open along with zoos and safari parks. But water parks and water rides have to stay closed. Tickets should be bought online and a face covering is needed.
And some police forces - including Devon and Cornwall - have said punters would have a two hour limit on staying in any establishment.
People living near the English border in Wales will have to watch on as pubs open just miles away - with their locals still locked down until July 13.
Those within five miles of an English open pub could visit under the restrictions in Wales, but the First Minister Mark Drakeford begged people to stay "safe".
Statistics from the Night-Time Industries Association (NTIA) revealed 31 per cent of bars, pubs and restaurants will stay closed today.
Chief executive Michael Kill called for more support for the industry from the Government and said: "Our members feel stuck in a bizarre tug of war between government, licensing and planning regulators and the police.
"But no-one knows which rope to pull and in which direction, leaving businesses stranded in the middle with no way to move forward and out of this mess."
But going back the local won't be the same as it was before - you'll have to stick to tough new rules to keep everyone safe during the coronavirus pandemic.
Mr Johnson bluntly told people not to "blow" it, as distancing is still in place, groups of more than six still cannot mingle and masks should be worn in enclosed areas where possible.
He said: "We've progressed thanks to the efforts of the British people from an incidence of the disease at about one in 400 a few weeks ago to maybe one in 2,200 today.
"We're making progress, we aimed for July the 4th, we wanted to set ourselves a target, we think we're in good shape but my message is let's not blow it."
People will have to book ahead to make sure they get a spot in the pub, and in some places order via an app.
Table service will be required, and in many pubs you won't be allowed to order at the bar.
In larger pubs, the tables will need to be rearranged so that they sit at least a metre away from the next one.
It means boozers will only be operating around 60 per cent capacity, so customers will also be encouraged to book a table before arriving at their local.
STICK TO THE RULES
People will only be allowed to go out to the pub with one other household at a time.
And the lead member will have to leave their contact details with the pub just in case there's an outbreak, or they end up near someone who later tests positive for the virus.
Those details will be destroyed by the pubs after 21 days.
The Sun revealed this week pubs will be allowed to show the football - but it will have to be on quietly.
Anything which encourages people to raise their voice shouldn't be allowed - because of the potential to spread the virus through droplets in the air.
And people in Scotland will have to wait a little longer before they can enjoy a cold pint at their pub - as beer gardens aren't meant to open until 6 July.
Indoor restaurants and pubs can open their doors from 15 July, too.,
However, many pubs are not going to open up their doors at all on Saturday - for fears they can't keep people safe.
Some landlords fear they cannot enforce Covid-19 social distancing rules when partying punters flood in for their first pint since March.
Ian High, operations and finance director of Pub Culture, which runs venues in the North East including the Dun Cow in Sunderland, told the Sunderland Echo: "The health and safety of our staff and customers is our top priority.

"We are working through the guidelines provided for the hospitality industry and want to make sure that when we open, we are providing the safest possible environment."
Leading doctors, police and campaigners urged revellers to drink responsibly to avoid ending up injured and in under pressure hospitals.
Some even fear that emergency departments could see as many drunk patients as New Years Eve.
