Body language expert Judi James suggested Naga looked "stoic, professional, and maybe ironic" throughout the segment.
Both her body language and her tone gave an air of authority and confidence.
Judi said: "Her start comment of 'some people' sounds weighted, with tonal emphasis on the word 'some' and she uses a cut-off ritual with her hand while using very direct eye contact on Charlie, who purses his lips and looks back."

Throughout the show she maintained this professionalism, visually addressing the cameras.
Judi said: "Naga's very direct visual address of the cameras hasn't changed or diluted, which suggests a very direct and open relationship with the viewers."
This is mirrored by her body language which also suggests openness.
However, Judi suggested that there were some signs of the pressure Naga is facing amidst the allegations as she sandwiched her left hand between her crossed legs, or fiddled with an earring or the neckline of her jumpsuit.
Her relationship with Charlie had signs of "harmony" and appeared "friendly".
Judi said: "After the 7:30 news ended the camera caught them at a distance and it was Naga budging up closer and throwing him a warm smile as they prepared for the next segment."
After the show finished, the pair were seen enjoying a cigarette break together outside the studio.
Despite the ironic tone of the segment, Naga has not yet addressed the allegations made against her.
