BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty has been accused of giving a guest an “easy ride” during the latest instalment of the show.
The host was back on our screens on Saturday (August 20) morning alongside co-star Charlie Stayt.
Viewers watched Naga grill secretary general of the National Union of Rail, Mick Lynch, about the latest round of train strikes.

However, fans were left disappointed following the interview, with some claiming she let Mick “get away” with not answering her questions.
Taking to Twitter, one fan moaned: “Naga failed to put Mick Lynch under pressure, unlike her interview with politicians.”

Another added: “Letting Lynch push his bulls*** propaganda without questioning what he said once, time to ditch the licence.”
A third person said: “Naga didn’t interrupt once and didn’t press him on any point. Terrible.”
While a fourth social media user said: ““@BBCBreakfast journalists don’t challenge anything that #MickLynch says, but Charlie and Naga are like a Rottweiler when it’s a member of the government.”

While one fan supported Naga saying: “Naga taking the sensible, non confrontational approach to interviewing Mick Lynch.”
Another agreed: “Excellent interview with @RMTunion Mick Lynch, telling it like it is.”
It comes after Naga, 47, praised a “kind and thoughtful” fan after they surprised her with a very sweet gesture.
The star had been enjoying a day of golf this week, and took to Twitter to reply to a fan who had confessed they’d paid for her parking.

The generous fan tweeted: “Hope you had a nice round of golf. Hope it was the right car we paid parking for.”
Naga, 47, replied: “Thank you. So kind and thoughtful. That made my day! xx.”
It was confirmed earlier this year that Naga is one of the BBC’s highest paid stars – however it’s clear kind gestures like this go down very well with her.
