BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty leaves co-star wincing with swipe he looks ‘tired’ live on air
BBC Breakfast star Naga Munchetty took a cheeky swipe at co-star Mike Bushell after she commented on his “tired” appearance live on air.
The presenter, 47, was joined in the studio by fellow host Ben Thompson on Friday morning.
Naga, who often enjoys some harmless banter with her co-stars, was quick to have a pop at sports presenter Mike Bushell.
She joked that Mike looked “tired” right before he was due to deliver his sporting segment on the morning show.
Pointing out Mike’s sleep-deprived appearance, Naga said: “It’s coming up to twenty-minutes-to-seven…”
She then jokingly exclaimed: “Now… tired, Mike?”
Mike took the jibe in good humour and turned to the camera and confessed: “Am I? I haven’t got any sleep last night, actually!”
But Naga reassured him she was only joking as “fatigue” was a key theme in his pending football segment.
Drawing on her own early morning experiences, she said: “No. I think it’s something we’re all very familiar with, but your analysis of sport today has a theme of fatigue.”
Mike agreed: “There’s a certain element, isn’t there, in terms of people talking about the tiredness of the premier league players that have been to the World Cup.”
Naga got everyone talking after she wowed fans in a ‘killer’ dress as Charlie Stayt was replaced in a presenter shake-up.
Naga returned to BBC Breakfast after her Christmas and New Year break.
However, she wasn’t joined by her usual co-host Charlie, 60, who was absent.
Instead, Naga presented the show alongside Ben Thompson, 41, and wore a black figure-hugging dress which featured colourful stripes along the shoulders, lower arms and hemline.
The dress also featured a low cut round neck and viewers absolutely loved Naga’s look.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: “@TVNaga01 Loving your dress today (black with rainbow colour detail on shoulders, sleeves and hem). Where is it from?”
Another added: “How does @TVNaga01 manage to look so gorgeous this early in the day?”
A third tweeted: “@TVNaga01 great dress this morning!”
Meanwhile a fourth shared: “Killer dress today @TVNaga01 always stunning.”
BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
