BBC Breakfast star snaps ‘that’s not fair!’ after brutal Naga Munchetty swipe about his manners and money
A BBC Breakfast star snapped ‘that’s not fair!’ after a brutal Naga Munchetty swipe about his manners and money.
On today’s show, Naga and co-host Charlie Stayt were discussing some of the stories in the national newspapers.
One of them was about buffet etiquette, and Naga, 48, asked Charlie, 61, if he had any rules when it came to the buffet table.
Charlie replied: “Do you just get one go or do you get multiple? If it’s one go, you pile it high, don’t you?
“To be honest, they give you smaller plates these days to stop you that happening and you have to layer it so you have the right [balance]. There’s a lot of theory in it.”
Naga replied: “Double dipping – don’t do that. Queue jumping and returning food that you’ve already picked up – all wrong.
“Just be very careful if you’re at a buffet, be very, very careful.”
She then turned to welcome Business Correspondent Ben Boulos, who was also in the studio, and said: “Ben would never [do that], you’d just scoff everything in sight, wouldn’t you?
“There’d be no food to return, would there?”
Ben recoiled in shock and replied: “No, I don’t do that. I don’t think that’s fair, I don’t think that’s fair.
“I might go up for seconds or thirds maybe but a little bit on the plate is fine.”
Naga continued to poke fun at her co-star and said: “You make sure you get your money‘s worth, what are you talking about?”
With a laugh Ben replied: “You do need to make sure you get your money’s worth, absolutely.”
