BBC Breakfast viewers were left disgruntled on Thursday as they witnessed a tense exchange between hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. The awkward clash, which occurred during the August 24 edition of the popular morning show, had fans questioning, "What's going on?" as the scenes unfolded.
The disagreement stemmed from a discussion about the nation's favourite sandwiches. Naga, 48, expressed her confusion over the list her c-host was reading out, as she said: "It is very different because I think you would buy a posher sandwich or a more intricate sandwich if it was already made for you than you would make at home."
Charlie, 61, responded, "I have to say, it is a very different thing, the sandwich you choose to buy off a shelf, to one you might make at home". To which Naga bluntly retorted: "That's what I just said." Charlie tried to defuse the situation by saying, "No, Im agreeing with you", but not before the presenter rolled her eyes.
The BBC presenters' clash baffled fans (BBC)Viewers took to Twitter to express their opinions on the incident as one tweeted: "@BBCBreakfast Can someone stop Naga jumping in finishing other people's conversations." However, another seemed to enjoy the fiery exchange, tweeting: "Naga and Charlie on fire this morning @BBCBreakfast calling out these clowns. Bland Ben @jonkay01 @sallynugent could learn something seeing the program."
But, a third hinted at some on-air tension between the presenters, questioning: "@BBCBreakfast @BBCNews what is going on this morning with Charlie and Naga? There is certainly tension this morning..." Another fan also weighed in on the perceived friction, tweeting: "@BBCBreakfast its always slightly awkward as a viewer when Naga gets irritated with Charlie and rolls her eyes etc. I wish they were more professional and kept all that off screen."
