BBC Breakfast host disappears off-screen after Naga Munchetty tells him to leave

BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty saw co-star Matt Taylor walk off screen after she made a quip at him during the breakfast show’s final instalment of the week.

Naga couldn't help but take a cheeky pop at forecaster Matt as he finished his weather report on Friday, resulting in him exiting the screen.

Signing off his segment, Matt said: "We start the weekend on a mild note, so there is lots of rain around. The full moon is out, it is in full force."

The meteorologist moved out of shot for a moment during the report, prompting Naga to poke fun at him by joking she preferred it when he wasn't on screen.

Naga teased: "I liked the view when you stepped away from the camera."

Matt saw the funny side of the jibe and leaned into the joke by stepping off-screen.

"Much better," Naga said. "Bye, thanks, Matt. See you later."

Fellow TV presenter Ben Thompson jumped to Matt's defence as she said: "About half an hour ago, you were telling him how much we loved him."

But Naga hit back: "I do love him," before adding: "It was because he was blocking a picture."

Elsewhere in the programme, Naga was cheekily told to behave herself by one of her BBC Breakfast colleagues after being ticked off for "complaining".

Roger Johnson and the 47-year-old were presenting the show when they cut to weather presenter Chris Fawkes.

The forecaster wanted to give viewers an update halfway through the programme, but Naga wasn't happy.

Her problem stemmed from the downcast outlook as she lambasted the "gloomy" backdrop he was presenting in front of.

Chris flicked his button and showed off a slightly better photo – but later returned with a much cheerier offering.

He appeared on screen with a stunning photograph of a sunrise behind him.

Roger exclaimed: "Now what's that? Red sky in the morning, shepherds' warning?"

But the weather correspondent then threw Naga under the bus. "Well Naga was complaining just half an hour ago...."

Laughing, Naga held her hands up and jokingly denied she likes a grumble: "That's unlike me, isn't it?"

Chris added: "So I thought I'd put a cheerier picture on the screen behind me."

Naga interjected: "You got an, 'Oh' this time when I turned around and saw you, it's lovely."

As the weatherman glanced at the sunrise photograph taken in Walmer, Kent, by a viewer, he warned Naga to "behave".
