What they might not have been expecting is for Naga herself to see the comment and write a hilariously candid reply which bravely acknowledged her haters.
Naga simply replied: “Doubt it.”
It wasn’t long before the broadcaster was flooded with praise from fans who appreciated her witty comeback.
One fan wrote: “The amount of men who have an issue with you is bloody crazy? You obviously intimidate them with your wisdom, wit and great golf handicap!”

A second said: “Really like you @TVNaga01. Clearly doesn’t suffer fools gladly, does the political stories with gravitas and the naff stories with good grace and a cat lover into the bargain!”
Another chimed in: “With excellent shoes!”
A third commented: “TV would be better with more Naga’s – yes opinionated – yes not always everyone’s favourite – but smart, funny and has a personality and lets that shine through. I’ll take more Naga-style presenters every day of the week thanks.”
