BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty revealed she once ended up in hospital after making a cringe-worthy mistake.
On Saturday’s BBC Breakfast show (October 22), Naga shared a toe-curling tale with her co-host Charlie Stayt.
She began by saying: “Let me talk to you about something completely different. Now look, those with a sensitive nature may not enjoy this story.”

Charlie asked Naga: “Is it a look away now moment?”
The star continued while holding up a newspaper: “I sympathise with this woman because this has happened to me, not to the same extent.
“You don’t wear contact lenses, do you? I wear contact lenses and they can sometimes get lost in the eye.

“Very, very rarely but sometimes it does and it can be very painful. I’ve had one lost in my eye, a woman has had 23 disposable contact lenses removed from her eye, okay?”
“The woman was in her 70s and was avoiding visits – this is a lesson to see your doctor if you’ve got a problem, right?
Naga explained: “She’d been avoiding visits with her eyes doctor because she feared being infected with Covid.
“But then she’s told this story that she went in and she felt something foreign in her right eye. She managed to find a few of them, get them from her eye, and then spotted more of them.

“She then had her assistant record the removal, she filmed it on her phone,”
Looking sickened Charlie asked: “They were all in her eye at the same time?”
Naga then confirmed: “Yes! 23 disposable lenses! Can you imagine how uncomfortable that is?”
She then turned to her BBC colleague Gavin Ramjaun who looked rather uneasy.
The TV host then asked him: “Gavin, are you cringing? Morning to you.”

“Yes, that’s happened to me before actually,” Gavin responded.
She then quipped: “And me! I’ve ended up in an eye hospital trying to get it out!
“Mine went into the back and it is so painful because you can feel it scratching, but can you imagine 23?”
A queazy Gavin responded: “I used to wear them on nights out, coloured ones on nights out, back in the day this is, and I saw it slip around the side after I forgot to take them out. It was horrible, yeah.”
