BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty snubs weather presenter as Carol Kirkwood 'replaced'

BBC Breakfast star Naga Munchetty got cheeky with Matt Taylor as he stepped in for Carol Kirkwood on Friday (February 3).

The meteorologist is a regular part of the morning programme and lights up screens when she appears to give the weather updates for the following days.

But Naga and her co-host Charlie Stayt were joined by a different face today as BBC star Matt presented the day’s weather forecast instead.

The duo also sat alongside correspondent Mike Bushell who shared the latest sports updates, including Chris Dobey’s dream Premier League Darts debut as he beat six-time defending champion Michael van Gerwen in the Belfast final.

Mike, 57, then shared the incredible story about how the Newcastle lad realised he had a talent in the sport.

He said: “Many years ago now he was at bingo with his mum and a mate came in and said, ‘Look, we’re short of a player in our local pub team, can you just come and stand in?’ And there it was.

“It was life-changing. Found out he was good at it. Until you try it you don’t know, do you?”

“Wow, great story,” said Charlie as Naga agreed: “That’s a lovely story,” adding: “Same thing happened to Matt, you know?”

The sports correspondent was confused by this as he responded: “What?”

It quickly became clear the newsreader was having a laugh as she began detailing how Matt landed his role as a weather presenter on the show.

“One day there was a gap in the weather rota and someone grabbed Matt and said, ‘Do you fancy doing this?’ and he got really really good at it,” she laughed.

The meteorologist then appeared on screen and was more than happy to go along with the joked as he quipped: “You don’t know how true you are!”

He was met with plenty of laughs from the studio as he added: “I still haven’t been found out yet!”
