Watch awkward moment BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty shoots ‘unimpressed’ stare at Charlie Stayt on live TV
BBC Breakfast viewers noticed an awkward moment where Naga Munchetty shot an ‘unimpressed’ stare at co-star Charlie Stayt.
The duo were on the red sofa to present BBC Breakfast’s Good Friday edition.
Some viewers noticed a moment where Naga appeared seemingly “unimpressed” with her colleague.
They were discussing Jamaican Olympic sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce – described as the third fastest woman in history.
The 38-year-old appeared in a video of the “parents’ race” at her children’s sports day – and dominated the competition.
Speaking afterwards, Charlie said: “The wonderful thing about that, apart from the fact that she’s completely uncompromising in any way – everyone wins.
“All the other parents get to enjoy the moment where she was there and they tried to race against her.
“It reminds me slightly of when Mike Bushell endeavoured to take on a real race – a 60m indoor spint race.
“I remember it vividly – Mike, good luck to him, tried to… these were proper athletes in a proper race.
“About 20 metres in, they were so far ahead of him. You just don’t see ordinary people against those superhumans very often.”
One viewer sarcastically quipped on X: “As ever Naga looking impressed with Charlie’s mansplaining of the trivial news item slot.”

Addressing a different moment, another fan shared: “Naga being awkward as possible towards the Trading Standards lady.”
It comes amid reports that Naga is “barely speaking to her Breakfast boss” after accusing him of “bullying and misconduct”.
The BBC Breakfast presenter, 50, is said to have an “uneasy relationship” with her boss Richard Frediani.
A source told The Times: “Fredi has no relationship with Charlie and Naga, which is weird when they are half of his frontline presenting roster.
“It appears he doesn’t like them and they don’t like him — for whatever reason, they don’t talk to each other.”
The latest row has “blown up” staff WhatsApp groups, according to one insider.
The senior newsreader is reportedly “quite open” with her misgivings towards his treatment of her colleagues.
Who are the current presenters of BBC Breakfast?
The flagship BBC show has had dozens of presenters during its impressive 40 years on air but the current stars are:
Jon Kay – Since 2022
Sally Nugent – Since 2021
Charlie Stayt – Since 2006

It is alleged Frediani physically shook one woman during a newsroom exchange last year.
