BBC Breakfast presenters Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt often have their differences, but on Friday morning’s episode it appears as though Charlie was left feeling outraged by his co-host’s admission.
The presenters were taking a look at the newspaper headlines when Naga Munchetty started discussing a story about an old wives’ tale.
Presenter Naga explained how some beliefs which are considered to be factual are in fact false.
But Charlie Stayt seemed to be having none of it and demanded Naga to know where the information had come from.
Perplexed by her statement, Charlie replied: “Give me an example.”

“Okay, here’s an example. Remember you’re told, why would you wear a hat in the winter?” Naga responded.
Charlie answered: “Because it keeps you warm.”
Naga added: “And because most of the heat escapes through your head?”
“And your feet, yes,” Charlie chimed.
But according to reports, this claim was untrue.

“Yes, but no – only 10 percent of heat is lost through your head,” she explained making reference to the article in front of her.
Charlie appeared to be confused by this statement and said: “Hold on a minute, where’s the most heat going then?”
Moving on swiftly, Naga began to discuss other tales: “So the Great Wall of China is the only manmade structure visible from space – no, not true,” she explained.
Naga added: “Your hair and fingernails continue to grow after you die – apparently no, not true. Humans only have five senses, no, not true.”

Still appearing to be bewildered by the statements, Charlie asked: “Hold on, who is the authority of this debunking of what, to me, all sound like things that are true?”
Journalist Naga continued to explain to Charlie that the research was done by the Scrivens Opticians and Hearing Care.
But still not convinced by Naga’s first claim regarding wearing a hat in winter, broadcaster Charlie said: “Where is it do you think, that the heat most leaves your body if not from your head?
“That doesn’t make any sense to me. Doesn’t make any sense.”

Feeling frustrated by the myths, Charlie moved on to discuss a story he found more interesting.
BBC hosts Naga and Charlie have often had their on air relationship questioned by viewers, as some perceive their exchanges to be fairly awkward.
On Friday, some viewers took to Twitter to air their thoughts on the duo presenting the breakfast show together.
One viewer said: “How do you keep your calm Charlie? Some of Naga’s comments to you are pedantic, dismissive, rude and just plain challenging. Why does she do it? They are not endearing!!”
While another said: “Maybe you shouldn’t pair Naga with Charlie anymore? The chemistry between them is horrific. She’s sarcastic, he’s grumpy. Hard to watch!”
