Naga Munchetty clarifies BBC Breakfast future live on air after landing guest host role
NAGA Munchetty has clarified her BBC Breakfast future live on air.
It came after the popular telly anchor recently secured a completely different broadcasting role away from the early-morning programme.
Naga, 48, made her BBC Breakfast future crystal-clear on Saturday’s live episode.
The BBC star hosts the show every week from Thursday to Sunday, generally with co-star Charlie Stayt, 61, .
She joined the broadcaster back in 2010, taking up her role on the programme’s iconic red sofa four years later.
During a discussion about false job adverts, she admitted: “I have had them, and block,” making a gesture with her hand.
She continued: “You’re [the scammers] completely confused because I’m not in the market looking for another job at the moment in time.”
Naga’s announcement will no doubt reassure her legions of loyal fans – many of whom were left tickled when she snapped at Charlie earlier in the episode.
The BBC stalwart told how she “couldn’t believe” how her co-star couldn’t recall a particular episode of US sitcom Friends.
Meanwhile, Naga has been expanding her TV profile of late.
She revealed her new guest host gig on Have I Got News For You – which saw her swap her early morning starts for late nights.
Last year, a new series of her gritty show Claimed and Shamed was also confirmed.
Claimed and Shamed follows a number of insurance companies and police units in the UK and across the world that expose the most outrageous insurance cheats.
Naga has hosted the show since 2019, taking over from Ore Oduba.
Meanwhile, off-screen, Naga also has her own show on BBC Radio 5 Live.
