Naga Munchetty was missing from BBC Breakfast once again on Saturday morning (September 30).
The 48-year-old presenter normally hosts BBC Breakfast from Thursday to Saturday with her co-host Charlie Stayt, so viewers were probably expecting her to appear in the studio. But a shake-up saw her replaced by BBC presenter Sarah Campbell instead.
It meant Charlie, 61, wasn’t left to host Breakfast alone when he turned up to work at the studio, which is in Salford’s MediaCity, but it’s not the first time Naga was absent from the show in recent days. She was also missing from the studio on Friday, prompting Sarah to step in.

This comes after Naga was the subject of a social media attack on Thursday. In a scathing rant on X, formerly, Twitter, one viewer wrote: “Tune into BBC Woman’s Hour now for some man bashing and then BBC Live from 11am for a phone in on why men are b****rds with Naga.”

The BBC Radio 5 Live star had the perfect comeback as she simply responded: “Thanks for the free Ad. x”. Fans rushed to support the presenter after spotting the nasty remark, with one writing: “Nothing but love for Naga, a simple put down so eloquently put.”
Things turned awkward on BBC Breakfast when Strictly Come Dancing star Jowita Przystal shut down one of Naga’s questions earlier this week. Naga asked: “This is probably an unfair question but I’ll ask it anyway. How does he compare to how Hamza was in the early days?”

Hamza and Jowita won last year’s Strictly, but now she’s partnered with Paralympic champ Jody Cundy. However, it’s clear Jowita wasn’t going to compare her two partners in front of Naga and the nation.
She replied: “I cannot compare them because they’re two different people and I will never do that. I said it’s a new book, new page and we’re riding it together and there’s no on else there. It’s just me and Jodi and I’m focused on Jodi because our journey is now and here just us together.”

Jody and Jowita are performing the Paso Doble to Thunderstruck by AC/DC this week, after earning 21 points with their Quickstep to I’m Sitting on Top of the World by Bobby Darin last week.
