BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty left fans of Have I Got News For You stunned as she wittingly took a stab at Paul Merton with an X Rated quip.
The 48-year-old TV star left the audience and viewers at home in hysterics as she fired back with a quick witted innuendo when her co-star was speaking about “size”. It appeared Paul may have exaggerated a tad which was picked up immediately by non-nonsense Naga.
Starring as a guest presenter on Friday’s episode (8 December), the newsreader was joined by comedian Maisie Adam and Richard Osman, alongside regular team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton. They were faced with the Odd One Out Round when the naughty gesture came into play.
The teams were asked to figure out which of the four images did not fit the profile. With pictures of footballer Mo Salah, King Charles, Australia and an Ice Berg all appearing on the grid.

Eager to score a point, Paul buzzed in adding that an iceberg ‘floated away from all the other ice’. While asking the host: “Is it five times the size of Britain, or something like that?”
After being surprised by the size, Maisie chirped in: “What?!” As Naga intervened with the correct answer, telling Paul: “It’s twice the size of Greater London.”

Having made quite a sizeable mistake, Paul tried to cover his tracks as he hilariously responded: “Are there other parts of Britain? You can only say that in front of a London audience, I wouldn’t say it in Sheffield.”
Not one to shy away from a witty or sarcastic comeback, Naga astounded as she dropped the X-Rated remarked. She told Paul: “It’s so unlike a man to exaggerate size, isn’t it?”

The audience erupted with laughter as well as comedian Maisie. Feeling a bit red-faced, Paul commented: “Well, to compare something to twice the size of Greater London, yes it’s quite rare.” As Pointless star Richard chimed in with: “And don’t forget, 90% of it is underwater.”
The TV favourite and Radio 5 Live presenter has previously hosted on the show, which has a whopping 66 series in total. Just earlier this year, Naga presented the show and impressed the audience.. Less than six months later she’s back again and very much loved by all again.
