Lewis Capaldi left Naga Munchetty mortified with his outrageous comments live on BBC Breakfast.
The beloved Scottish singer turns 28 today (October 7), so it’s only fair we re-live his beautifully chaotic interview on the BBC One breakfast show back in September 2022. Viewers probably weren’t expecting to hear about the sex act of ‘rimming’ as they tucked into their cornflakes.
Naga and co-host Charlie Stayt welcomed the singer onto the red sofa to discuss his new single Forget Me.Towards the end of the interview, Lewis decided to pay Charlie a compliment.

Charlie returned the favour and responded: “Well you’ve got great hair too.” The Before You Go hitmaker leaned over and gave him a high five.
Naga then jokingly asking the pair: “Would you like a room?”. But Lewis seemed to think she was asking him something else – something very different indeed.
He floored the presenters as he responded: “I thought you said rim.” A shocked Naga burst out laughing at the X-rated outburst, as did members of the crew in the studio.

She swiftly ended the interview and told viewers they’d be giving Lewis a telling off. “We’re coming up to nine o’clock. Lewis Capaldi’s new single Forget Me is out now.
She added: “We’re going to have a little word with Lewis.” Sharing the hilarious clip on his X, formerly Twitter, page, the Scottish singer quipped: “A classic breakdown in communication.”

Another penned: “How did they keep a straight face after @LewisCapaldi thought Naga asked if he wanted a rim #BBCBreakfast.” “Still crying laughing at the Lewis Capaldi interview on BBC Breakfast just now. What a funny guy!,” added another user.

A fourth said: “We need more of interviews like this so we got to work laughing….. “I thought you said Rim ” brilliant.” A fifth added: “OMG!!! Thought Naga said do u want the rim #BBCBreakfast spat me coffee out.”
Lewis’ tweet even garnered a response from Piers Morgan, who commented three laughing emojis. Lewis is not the only singer to nab himself an iconic BBC Breakfast blunder – he’s in good company with Sam Fender, who admitted to being horrifically hungover during his appearance.
