BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty swipes at Mark Labbett before missing out on £111k

BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty left Mark Labbett with some lasting thoughts as she questioned whether he remembers people’s names.

The TV favourite swapped daytime TV for a Saturday evening slot as she appeared on The Chase in a bid to land some cash for a chosen charity.

As Naga joined three fellow celebrities, Adam Thomas, Brendan Cole and Amanda Byram, she decided to test her luck and go for £111,000 after an impressive cash builder.

Once she had decided to take the plunge, Mark Labbett reminded her that the last time she had appeared on the celebrity version of the show, her co-star lost in a savage takedown – similar to what he had planned for Naga.

Mark recalled Gareth Thomas – otherwise known as Alfie – appearing on the show, but as he called him Alfie, Naga immediately called him out on it.

She said to Mark: “But his name is Gareth, right? Are you good at getting names right, usually?”

While she had a sarcastic tone on her, Mark reaffirmed that Alfie is commonly known as Gareth’s nickname – but Naga didn’t back down with her immediate swipe.

As they started the game, Naga started off with an incredible head-start as she immediately knew the answer to the first question.

However, despite a promising launch, Naga was sadly beaten by Mark, leaving the team without the £111,000 the Naga bravely gambled for.

Many viewers were disappointed that she missed her chance on getting through to the final to take home some money for charity.

Taking to Twitter, one user wrote: “Gutted that gorgeous Naga didn’t get through.”

Another added: “Argh! Gutted Naga lost then. Such bad luck.”

A third person wrote: “That can’t be good. That cannot be good at all. I actually thought Naga would breeze right through that.”

Although Naga hasn’t said anything regarding her TV appearance this evening, she referenced it earlier this afternoon as she shared a snippet of the show.

She wrote on Twitter: “It was a while back! Still, I remember the fear! Looking forward to reliving it on ITV Chase tonight.”

Although Naga didn’t get through, it was an impressive performance from her co-stars Brendan and Amanda, who also failed to catch The Beast, but managed to take home £1,000 each to give to their chosen charities.
