BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty hints at feud with Charlie Stayt after awkward interview
BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty hinted at tensions with Charlie Stayt after an awkward interview went viral.
The pair were discussing the weather turning cold and cloudy today when Naga contradicted her co-host.
Rugby fan Charlie said he planned to stay home after work and relax in front of the telly.
He said: “I want to watch the rugby. It’s that thing, staying indoors when it’s nice outside.
“But I don’t think that’s a worry right now is it.”
Optimist Naga, 48, insisted it was going to be sunny and asked the weather man to confirm.
He said: “You’re right Naga” adding it would “turn chilly” but there would be “a few sunny spells”.
Laughing, Naga replied: “Look at you mediating between us. It’s a part of the job isn’t it”.
It came a day after BBC Breakfast fans were left wishing they could hide under their duvets after a ‘painfully awkward’ interview.
Naga and Charlie were in the Salford studio and were joined on the BBC Breakfast sofa by musician Mike Skinner.
The Streets star was on the show to talk about his latest project, but things immediately got off to an awkward start and viewers said it was “painful” to watch.
Before Naga could even introduce him, Mike pointed around the new BBC Breakfast studio and the picture of Salford Quay and said: “Can I just say this is not a true representation of Salford, Manchester.
“I just walked in from Salford Manchester and it does not look like that.”
Naga pointed out: “Well, it’s raining this morning,” and Charlie asked: “Are you talking about the weather?”
Mike then threw his hands up in the air and said: “Yes mum I made it.”
Naga asked after an awkward pause: “Do you think your mum would be impressed?”
The 44-year-old replied: “My mum is eternally impressed.”
However, BBC Breakfast viewers were not impressed, and took to X – formerly Twitter – to comment on Mike’s appearance on the show.
One wrote: “Zzzz. That was painful #bbcbreakfast.”
Another added: “A brilliant opportunity to publicise his music wasted on a still asleep Mike Skinner #BBCBreakfast.”
A third agreed, writing: “Well I don’t know what side of the bed Mike Skinner got out of this morning but man that was an awkward interview up there with the worst.”
BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
