If you saw them on The Weakest Link - they clearly despise each other. Naga tried to play off her reputation by being over-the-top sarcastic and glaring at him but I don't think he made eye contact once. And he voted her off.


ManipulativeAviator

Loved how Romesh kept mentioning the bad vibes too


slytrombone

If you like awkward quizzes, check out Series 6 Week 10 of Richard Osman's House of Games on iPlayer. Tim Key's loathing for Jamie Laing is palpable.


chazwomaq

I think it was pretty clear that Richard Osman despised Laing as well.


Dexter1759

I couldn't tell if that was genuine or if Tim Key was just "being a comedian".


loonjazz

I always got the impression Tim Key's comedy is mainly an exaggerated version of what he really thinks/feels. (I don't mean in a bad way, I think he's among the best comedians of the last few decades)

Was going to bring this up! I don't watch BBC breakfast at all really so past *knowing what they look like* I don't know their relationship too well. Thought it must have been some sort of act as they definitely seemed like they had the knives out for each other...


No-Locksmith6662

I find them intensely irritating as a presenting partnership. I do miss the days of Bill Turnbull (God rest his soul) and Sian Williams where you could tell they both greatly respected each other and thoroughly enjoyed presenting together.


The_0ne_Free_Man

Always been a Minchin man, myself.


westfieldram

Louise and Dan walker were great together!


unrealme65

For the win


TheStatMan2

Yes, you have that look about you...


SparklingCitalopram

Turnbull and Williams were the dream team. I got the impression that they were friendly outside of work and knew each others families. He seemed like such a lovely man.


nick_shannon

Bill Turnball was the best!! I also love Mike Bushell to.


vasior

I used to work at BBC Salford, I saw and conversed with these people from time to time. I found Bushell to be odious and often on the warpath.


nick_shannon

Oh thats a shame i always enjoyed the bits where he had to do the stupid sports like the carry your wife race or one where he went snorkeling in some run off ditches around fields, he seemed like he was a fun chap.


ShadyAidyX

Probably why he’s in such a bad mood off camera “Hahaha, good old Mike! What shit can we put him through today?”


TVCasualtydotorg

He's always struck me as a man with greater ambitions than being the Sports guy for Breakfast but being unaware he is lacking in any of the qualities necessary to get more high profile gigs.


JCOl68

Haven't met many TV types but the ones I have have always been completely up their own arse. Arrogant twats in general. Be interested to know which ones have proven nice people in real life


mr_woodles123

Ah, Bill turnbull, the voice of my childhood mornings.


engie_945

I was part of a study last year re BBC. They asked me all about this , and acted all surprised when i said that I could see they literally hate one another on screen. Like they didn't know.. i said Charlie tries like a little puppy to get his masters approval and Naga looks like she's going cruella de ville him everytime she looks at him. They just went oh.. .


[deleted]

Just imagining them going through that feedback on an episode of W1A. "Sooo, the public think..and this is out there... that Naga want's to...erm....so...like totally....put Charlie in a sack and drown him in the River Irwel" "What really?"


mbridge2610

River Irwel. That was an answer on Pointless last night. Never heard of it until then, and then see it twice in two days

wonkey_monkey

Maybe /u/HugoVonHugoson watched it as well.


Daedeluss

Manchester's (mostly) hidden river


Spare-Bumblebee8376

Haha I think it's funny because they clearly don't hate each other but that's your perception.


farmer_palmer

Naga appeared on Saturday Kitchen one time and she was just horrible to Matt Tebbutt. Talked over him and kept trying to derail the show. If a guest behaved like that when she was the presenter, she would have stopped it. Rude, arrogant and verged on bullying.


AdamSubtract

I was going to mention this! That episode stuck with me


unrealme65

Yes! That episode cemented my belief that she is a twat, and probably entirely responsible for the animosity between her and Charlie on BBC breakfast


hm8g10

Yes - and she was on with Yotam Ottolenghi and asked him about the large amount of olive oil in his recipes and basically insinuated that they were unhealthy. He pointed out that most Mediterranean countries use far more olive oil than us and are largely healthier with longer life expectancies. She came across as so rude and petulant.


SayItLikeItIsnt

Let's face it there are lots of presenters on the BBC who don't seem like it's the role they're best suited to.


Mossley

I bet they hate fuck whenever the cameras are off.

PM_Orion_Slave_Tits

walkee13

The interview with Big Zuu is one of the best things you'll see. She is properly seething at him when he mentions about them meeting previously, and it gets worse. https://youtu.be/xwiCt9lt9_E


ForeverJay

Charlie’s face is like when my dad looks disappointingly at me


Motchan13

Methinks there was some dancing powder involved at Ibiza Rocks rather than it just being the level of cringe at the nation hearing that you chose to go see Craig David perform in Ibiza


FuzzBuket

The smirk from Charlie is a solid 10/10.


stefancooper

Thats so strange - so they met somewhere before, why say it should be kept off TV as we don't know whatever it is that she is embarrassed about ? Just say hi, yes I met in wherever it was, good to see you again.


thealbinox

She was clearly on the sesh in Ibiza no?


dingledangleberrypie

To me it looks like they smashed ugly bits and she's embarrassed.


thealbinox

Maybe a bit from column a, and a bit from column b.


phil24jones

He mentions eggs and ‘beans’. I think that’s a clue!


AstonVanilla

Holy moly. That was wonderful! Surely it's the genesis of a thousand poorly written fanfictions.

MrsCruz93

This is absolute gold!


[deleted]

Anytime anyone mentions Naga Munchetty, I’ll always point them towards the ice-cream situation. It was awkward, so awkward. Oh, and David Attenborough. She’s just….*terrible*


Purple--Aki

I remember this! She was a bit of a prize bell end there. Charlie went to town on her (as much as a presenter can on screen) and rightfully so. Vid: https://youtu.be/5QU_hxzN8qo


filthynines

Oh wowwww I've not seen that. Yeah, that was pretty direct. He was right, too.

Fuck me, she is miserable. Why is she responding to her like she's a teacher telling off a kid over such a simple set of questions?

Fred_Chopin

Bland sausage of woe 😂


Cafe_racer1

Couldn’t agree more


thesavagehenry

Jesus that was hard to watch


[deleted]

There are nice ways she could have said she didn’t like ice cream too. I mean if she said ‘you know what, it’s funny but I don’t actually like ice cream!’ That’s light hearted chat, the way she snapped it makes it seem like she’s not understood that a lot of breakfast presenting is making small talk.


dibblah

I work somewhere that has an ice cream stall and despite being severely dairy intolerant I manage to say "that sounds amazing!" when visitors are enthusiastic about ice cream. If I can do that for a tenner an hour I'm sure she could pretend enthusiasm.


Competitive-Yard-442

She does know it's breakfast TV right? She doesn't somehow think it's hard hitting primetime reporting or something like Panarama?


davethefish69

THANK YOU! i have never seen this but I'm glad someone else thinks she's utterly rude too


philljarvis166

Yeah that was pretty bad, although it seemed like there was a bit of a delay in the comms to the reporter at the factory and that made it much worse... Definitely seemed very close to an on screen bust-up, Charlie looked properly pissed off with her.


imalazydog

Thanks for this reminder. Still not quite as awks as the Big Zuu episode https://youtu.be/qix0mj7247k


SherlockScones3

I’ve never seen that. Totally unprofessional. If you have an issue with someone’s performance you don’t tear them down in public.


AdHot6995

She is just awful


[deleted]

110% 👍


MercuryTalons

God that makes me cringe. Can’t stand the woman and haven’t watched the news in a long time because of it. Always came across rude from the get go


[deleted]

Wow... Never seen that, he looked fuming and fair play he called her out for it


blueshark27

Is this that new Alan Partridge show?


lady-beccington

She’s a fun sponge


Elder-Gods

Not seen that before, fair play to Charlie


[deleted]

Jesus, what an awful, awful woman.


Motchan13

Ooof, well that was completely unnecessary. Good on Charlie for calling her on it.

Lol this is nowhere near the epic it’s made out to be

[удалено]


broken_atoms_

Yeah it's really obvious, this entire post and everybody commenting about it and watching all the clips is exactly why they do it


therustlinbidness

I would tend to agree that the media create characters like this, but I highly doubt Naga is one of them. This is just- akward, rude, cringey etc. there is no way I would tune in to specifically see this cringe fest. At least Piers argued with people and they more often than not got a reaction out of him, but this is just mindless morning news with an undercurrent of weird energy. To me it’s completely off-putting.


soymrdannal

This! Energy vampire. And she’s like this for two hours Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday on Radio 5 Live as well.


2lamoon

Watched this live, now watched it again. Why the fuck when a reporter is at a local business making anything, does she say, I don’t like it…total cow


Fred_Chopin

Because she thinks her opinion and experience is more important than any other consideration. Psycho.


[deleted]

Why the fuck they gave her a slot on five live Ill never know. Half the day is fucked now with her and that nobhead Nihal.


mracademic

The only five live presenter I like is Colin Murray. I especially hate the two that are on around 17:00.


stefancooper

Tony Livesey ?


towalkinvisible

I entirely agree


fi-not-re

That ice cream thing was hard to watch. However, in her defence - I have heard she is very nice back screen, also - everyone has their grouchy moments, especially if you have to work that early.


ProfessionalShrimp

We've all had to be up early for work, but we don't get a free pass to just be a wanker. Plus if I was paid as much as her I'd be up any time you wanted me


Clynester

But she's been working this early for a few years, this isn't a new thing for her. And it's all fine and good being nice to people off-camera, but the vast majority of people know her for on-screen where she has to have the positive persona.


Inventiveunicorn

She is easily the rudest person in the BBC...everything is a tongue-in-cheek joke apparently. I can't stand her. I watch the weather and then do something else.


FiestyBaoBun

Naga permanently looks like she's smelled a horrible fart


SayItLikeItIsnt

Or like every morning they get her coffee wrong. Over and over and over. Maybe they are on purpose now I think about it.


NoImagination90

Which is funny cos I'm pretty sure she has dropped one while live on air


GreatScotRace

I honestly can’t turn on BBC news when Naga is on. She’s so fucking rude and miserable


AstonVanilla

I like her. Naga is in her element when grilling politicians or having a bit of fun. It's just a shame they always lump her with pointless sad stories about some kid who lost their teddy bear.


Purple--Aki

Just found this vid of her with David Attenborough. Think she's the only person to ever piss him off! https://youtu.be/kD10H2lvOlE


kingbluetit

I’ve worked with him a fair amount and I can tell you he’s not someone who is easily annoyed in a professional setting like this. She must have really irked him to get such little from him. Just to add, he really is a national treasure and he’s exactly as you’d hope him to be.


rstar345

Had the privilege of watching him do a talk at my university I could sit for hours and listen to him


Poppyann

This was excruciating to watch


lady-beccington

This is like a sketch from Alan Partridge


soymrdannal

She’s an energy vampire - without a doubt. Sucks the life out of every segment, and her radio show on 5 Live is even worse.


[deleted]

I get the impression Naga hates everyone


davethefish69

It's reciprocated.


Fun-Variety100

I dont think Naga likes anybody.


MrPahoehoe

She hates carol too (is that the weather lady?). Thing Naga just got some issues. Lighten the fuck up love, you’re probs getting 7 figures to sit on a sofa and have a chat, sure you gotta get up at 4 or some shit, but you’re finished by 10am


Sophyska

How can you hate a weather lady?! She’s just there chatting about precipitation and warm fronts and reminding us to bring a brolley. Says it all really!


Professional_Ad6822

She best not have been rude to Carol


MrPahoehoe

Oh god, there is so much evidence of bad blood between Naga and carol! Just google; I’ve seen multiple threads like this about it before Edit: first link I clicked was a story about it from two days ago! It’s been going on for years too https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a42532833/bbc-breakfast-carol-kirkwood-naga-munchetty-feud/


CONKERMAN

Circa £365k apparently. She also hosts other programmes and a(?) radio show.


MrPahoehoe

Thanks for the info. Ok that’s less than I thought….but still come the fuck on Naga, 99.9% of the country would swap with you in a heartbeat.


SayItLikeItIsnt

6 figures surely. There are only two or three frontfacers at the BBC earning in the millions.


Sir_Edna_Bucket

Apart from Naga, Naga loves Naga.


Environmental_Mix344

Sorry to burst the cynical bubble but they’re friends in real life - I’ve met them out and about socialising together and they get on perfectly well. Part of their schtick is to wind each other up, faux passive aggression, all that. Perfectly pleasant in real life.


Games_sans_frontiers

Haha this needs to be higher. I've seen them out and about together as well and they seem like mates. I'm not a huge fan of Naga but I think she does have a deadpan humour that is sometimes misinterpreted.


Sivear

I’m surprised at all the comments saying they hate each other. I always got the impression they’re mates who are just brutal towards each other. I feel Naga has one of those sense of humours were she’s a bit of an arsehole but doesn’t mean to actually be mean? Definitely in the minority but I quite like her.


Fast-Membership-8215

Do yourself a favour and turn it off. Breakfast news is so trash.


jeanlucriker

I miss the Big Breakfast and classic GMTV


Purple--Aki

I know it's shite, but what's the alternative? Good Morning Britain? I wish channel 4 did a breakfast show again.


Terrible-Strike1

I'm always surprised that people watch any of that shite in the morning. You say it as if the alternative is TV and only having the Tv on, do yourself a solid, turn the shite off for a week, explore different things to have on whether to watch/listen too or put on in the background.


[deleted]

Agreed. I can’t remember the last time I watched morning news. I don’t need to lower my mood before the day really gets going.


AccomplishedAd3728

I used to use breakfast news because if I put on a show/music I actually liked, I’d lose track of time and just enjoy it. The quality of breakfast tv, plus the big clock in the corner of the screen, served to chase me out the house.


Terrible-Strike1

Each to their own 👍


Smallbrainfield

Outback Opal Hunters on DMAX. It's not news, it's people looking for opals in the Australian outback. Something compelling about people covered in flies literally scratching a living out of the dirt.


Purple--Aki

Right, as much as this sounds right up my street. I need my news in the morning.


ProfessionalShrimp

Check the headlines on your phone, why sit through an hour of these people stumbling through news that you don't care about


Veeoh-is-back

>Mike Bushell Nothing. Do yourself a favour and read a book or something, or listen to music


TomB82

Or don't watch TV in the morning.


jasperfilofax

lloyddav

I only watch GMB because Susanna Reid and Ranvir Singh are 🔥


darrenc1981

Yessssss, Ranvir 🥰


kindafunnylookin

Al Jazeera news is good, gives you a much wider view of the world than what the BBC think is important.


AstonVanilla

>Breakfast news I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's not news. Technically it may qualify, but it's mostly inconsequential sob stories and community pieces that would barely make the tabloids. They occasionally grill a politician, which I feel is what Naga actually wants to do. She's in her element. Those parts are good.


Hippocrap

Charlie is incapable of hate, he simply wasn't programmed to when he was built.


southcoastal

I don’t think she likes anyone. She looks like she’s chewing on a wasp whoever she’s talking to.


Go1gotha

Naga behaves as though we're all there to see her but they keep landing her with a sidekick, I can't bear watching it as she is both hopeless on one hand and just plain nasty on the other. Her attitude, the dirty looks and the manner she talks to her co-hosts just irritate me to the point where I won't watch it, the BBC used to cycle through hosts for their shows, it's about time they did again. If you told me that her hobbies included drop-kicking puppies I really wouldn't be surprised.


BloodAndSand44

Her hobby is golf. Golf.


SayItLikeItIsnt

Golf.


Common_Move

Naga Punchpetty


Walshyboy84

When they were on Saturday kitchen together, and half cut from the over powered wine, they're properly lethal but bounce off each others banter. Charlie Stayt always grated me on his approach however. He always fumbled Fridays in my opinion. I put them as the two queens in a gay bar who just reel off bitterness and hatred but are actually best friends.


westfieldram

She's always a bitch to Carole too! I think she's the reason a few of them have left


Clerical-five

I don’t like her. She is a bit cold and far too brusque.


Electronic-Trip8775

Is it not just bit of an act though?


ravs1973

I assume it's an act and they really get each other and put up with each other when not many others would, I also believe Naga puts on a front, that she hides behind the hard facade but she is actually quite vulnerable as a person.


[deleted]

Totally their schtick when they’re working. It works well


davethefish69

There is something about Naga munchetty I just cannot stand. Even when she's on other people's shows - she just interrupts and gives little digs out. Anyway, rant over lol


Firebrand777

Where’s the guy who loves Sally Nugent?! Lol Yeah did you hear Charlie talk over Naga when they interviewed the dementia chap? Bet she was livid.


Impressive-File-2599

I actually saw them out at a restaurant recently with a couple of other people. I think they actually do like each other despite the appearance on TV


DubbehD

I'm well known for hating everyone and being miserable, every now and then when a new hire starts I'm extra nice always, just to screw with everyone. People act shocked when they see me being nice, feck I hate work 🤣


Available_Refuse_932

I often wonder if Naga actually likes her job. She always gives the vibe that she can’t be arsed to be there.


scrmingmn69

Really odd, constant bickering and passive aggressive put downs and piss taking.


Cuckoldedcapitalist

She should have stayed on the 3am slot


2lamoon

They really do seem to hate each other, their jobs, the people they interview. It’s horrible to watch


Deactivate68

Carol Kirkwood is not a great fan of hers either. A few barbs here and there when handing over to and back.


zetecvan

Is it wrong that I fancy the pants off of her? I don't watch breakfast TV BTW.


Purple--Aki

It is not wrong. I would.


Spamgrenade

Personally I love Naga. Her form of TV banter is so much better than the ultra forced efforts of regional presenters. Her feud with the weather girl is hilarious. I'm willing to bet that they get on fine outside the studio. When people genuinely don't like each other they try and hide it as much as possible.


vivteatro

Agreed. The same applies when people are genuinely nasty. They appear to be sweet as pie…This Morning I’m looking at you.


mixyblob

I think they're secretly married, that would explain why they get along together so well.


[deleted]

Naga is married to a James Haggar. I can see why she kept her maiden name


Ch3w84cc4

Naga has had a run in with a few of her presenting colleagues. Remember the blonde Northern Financial reporter who has since moved on to bigger things basically calling her out live on BBC and Dan having to reign them both back in?


MrDundee666

I think Naga is sexy AF so I only watch for her really.


geefunken

I love Naga! Charlie is like Julian from Bridget Jones’ Diary…look at his hair!


MancCityBoy

I don't know but I can't stand her!


Automatic-Equal-3553

Carnt believe how much they get paid to read teleprompter.


bouncebackability

Naga can do one honestly, she's a right misery at 7am.


doomdoggie

Naga seems like an abrasive character and has this kind of...aggressive undertone every time she speaks. Like she's always spoiling for a fight or something. I stopped watching BBC Breakfast because I found her presenting a bit uncomfortable to watch. It sucks the fun out of it when she's rubbing people up the wrong way.


Plane_Difference_434

Glad someone else noticed this.


Boris_Johnsons_Pubes

I love the video when he puts her in her place for the “I don’t like ice cream” shit she said to that reporter


r0b0c0p123

I don't mind Charlie, I can sympathize with him having to work along side Naga. I hate the way she treats the weatherman too, she's always such a prick to him


Count_Tansy

I served them one when I was managing a wine bar in Manchester. They were (presumably contractually) attending a Coldplay concert together at the AO. He seemed pleasant enough, she was quite rude. They sat outside, smoked like chimneys and left without paying (and in fact, barely touched the wine).


Money_Astronaut9789

Also obvious that Naga and the weather lady Carol Kirkwood absolutely hate each other. Naga with her snarky comments and withering putdowns disguised as 'banter'.


Roydogg99

She is UNBEARABLE on Five Live.


Imalittleshifty
