HOST Naga Munchetty was missing from BBC Breakfast again today after admitting “people don’t like me”.
The 47-year-old has been absent from the show this week amid format changes following the Queen’s death.
Naga Munchetty hasn’t been on air this week
It happened just days after she was branded “rude” by viewers.
Naga and Charlie Stayt usually anchor the morning show from Thursday to Saturday every week.
But he’s been solo while presenting live from Westminster as he reported on the queue to see the Queen.
Meanwhile Naga was seen yesterday among mourners at Bill Turnbull’s funeral after the BBC legend’s tragic cancer death.
WEATHER MAN
BBC Breakfast viewers all have the same complaint about Jon Kay
During the Queen’s final journey from Balmoral and her subsequent lying in state, the BBC has seen several of its presenters ditch the Salford studio.
Earlier this week, Jon Kay travelled to Edinburgh and Sally Nugent appeared from Buckingham Palace as crowds queued to visit the Queen’s coffin and bid their monarch farewell.
Today Nina Warhurst was back in the studio while Charlie was on location.
BBC Breakfast‘s Naga hasn’t been on-screen since fans branded her “rude and unprofessional” for “rolling her eyes” at a guest.
The 47-year-old journalist was also slammed for a blunder regarding King Charles III following the death of The Queen.
In a previous interview, Naga admitted she was fully aware of how polarising she can be.
She explained how her husband James Haggar, a TV director, had told her when she moved into TV news: “You need to have a thicker skin.
