BBC Breakfast’s Charlie Stayt warns ‘get the cameras away’ as Naga Munchetty clashes with Morning Live host
BBC Breakfast viewers were left wincing at Morning Live host Sara Cox’s embarrassing dancing, and Charlie Stayt demands ‘get the cameras away.’
Charlie joked to BBC Breakfast producers to cut away after an awkward moment between Naga Munchetty and Sara Cox.
Sara teased viewers what they could expect on Friday’s show, including the new series Animal Park.
She said: “We’re getting a taste of the new series Animal Park, where presenter Megan McCubbin has been following the keepers at Longleat, who are making wool fun for wolves, giving crocs a shower and helping a tiger find love.”
But as she said this, she moved her shoulders and swayed her arms and hips, leaving her Morning Live co-host Gethin Jones looking very confused.
After Sara realised what she Sara quickly said: “Sorry about that, don’t know what that was.”
Naga couldn’t resist chiming in: “I don’t know what just came over you then Sara, I feel as confused as Gethin looks.”
Gethin laughed nervously and commented: “I liked it though.”
Sara continued to awkwardly dance and said: “I’m channelling my inner Cilla Black.”
Naga then joked: “Okay Gethin, good luck today, really good luck.”
Charlie joined in as he said: “Take the cameras away quickly, remove the cameras.”
This comes after Naga took to social media to say goodbye to one of her co-stars after 16 years on the BBC.
She bid a fond farewell to political correspondent Jonathan Blake and offered her congratulations after he announced he is leaving the Corporation.
Jonathan has quit BBC News after 16 years and will be joining the communications firm Headland Consultancy.
The presenter started out as a US reporter on Radio 1‘s current affairs show Newsbeat.
He spent seven months as a presenter on the World Service before being appointed a political correspondent in March 2018.
Taking to Twitter on Friday, Jonathan wrote: “Some news from me… After 16 years at the BBC and two decades as a journalist it’s time for change and a new challenge.
“Tough to say goodbye to so many fab friends and colleagues but thrilled to be joining the brilliant team at @HeadlandComms very soon!”
Naga wished her colleague well writing: “Congratulations! At least we get to chat to you @BBCBreakfast this morning before you go. x”
Jonathan replied to her tweet and said: “thank you Naga! yes, not quite done yet :)”.
