BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt were both left a little confused after they were scorned by Mike Bushell.
The awkward encounter unfolded on television screens this morning after Mike slipped in what sounded like a dig at his co-presenters.
BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty was caught off-guard by Mike Bushell’s comments
After Naga and Charlie excitedly chatted about a machine that can correct potholes, Mike cut in: “important stuff isn’t it, I mean Saturday morning.”
Charlie cut him off, introducing Mike’s segment, asking him: “You’re gonna update us about ice skating…”
“That is coming up, I’m teasing it, so you have to stay and listen to all I’m saying,” Mike hit back.
“Always,” Naga responded quickly, and Charlie echoed: “Always, Mike.”
Naga was recently begged by fans to “stop smoking” after she and Charlie were caught puffing on cigarettes together.
The 48-year-old had taken to social media to proudly announce that she “did it” in reference to completing her first run of the year.
Naga posted a picture of herself wearing ear pods as she made her way back home after her jog. And she captioned the post saying: “Didn’t want to. Did it. It’s done. #run. Happy Friday.”
But one fan said: “Please give up the cigarettes.”
Another added: “I’m curious (not judging you) how many cigarettes do you smoke a day?”
And a third jumped on the bandwagon to say: “Disappointing to find out you are a smoker.”
But this is not the first time Naga has been scolded by viewers. Earlier this month Comic Relief fans predicted that Ofcom would be inundated with complaints after the newsreader swore on air.
Unfortunately for Naga, she was asked to read out a joke that appeared to have a swear word in it – 45 minutes before the 9pm watershed.
She told her co-star Charlie Stayt: “I went to the zoo the other day, there was only one dog in it. It was a Shih Tzu.”
Charlie laughed at the apparent mis-hap, but Naga didn’t appear to notice that her joke sounded exactly like she was saying: “It was a s*** zoo.”
And as predicted, fans took to Twitter to raise their eyebrows. One said: “Oop a kind of swear word before 9pm, Ofcom is gonna have a field day with complaints lmao.”
Mike appeared to be uninterested in what Naga and Charlie were talking about
