We don’t mean to alarm you but there’s something very peculiar going on in the Victoria Derbyshire studio.

The daily current affairs program has a worrying obsession with mugs and it’s been going on right before our very eyes.

Eagle-eyed Guardian writer Stuart Heritage noticed that there are a disproportionately high number of mugs to humans ratio on the set of the BBC show.

I might be the last person to notice, but what the fuck sort of mug fetish does Victoria Derbyshire have? Her set is conservatively 85% mug

He supplied plenty of evidence to back it up.

Look at this. She's operating a 3MPP (three mugs per person) here, the maniac pic.twitter.com/LzGnW0RXQX

Now it's EIGHT. #VictoriaLIVE has now reached a peak of 8mpp (eight mugs per person). Can this be topped? CAN IT? pic.twitter.com/KVOFntkJqb

But why so many mugs? There has to be a reason - especially since one purported guest claimed told they couldn’t give her one to take home.

On Wednesday morning a guest asked if she could take a mug home and was told "we don't have many of them".

Seriously? I can no longer take the BBC seriously

Theories have emerged.

Product placement. She may not earn as much as the men officially, but she's coining it with her range of mugs.

I've always wondered what a nest of tables was. And now it is clearly a nest for mugs to live in.

This is Mug Code: Someone is being held hostage. Please send help. Or biscuits.

Definitely coded message to some deep state agent out there. Good job uncovering this

Are the mugs keeping you against your will, Tina? Blink twice for yes https://t.co/d2iNxqkMS7

Victoria has now finally responded to the controversy and turns out she’s the maverick we suspected all along.

when I remember (not enough) I deliberately untidy them

This has made me so happy. Please continue fighting the good fight against these tyants
