Naga Munchetty cuts off Charlie Stayt with brutal swipe live on BBC Breakfast
BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty couldn't resist taking a playful dig at her colleague Charlie Stayt this Friday.
The presenting duo were discussing the enduring impact of David Lynch, noting that the iconic filmmaker's personal effects are now going under the hammer in a live auction.
Charlie, feeling nostalgic, tried to hum the Twin Peaks theme tune, admitting: "As soon as you say Twin Peaks, in my head I've got..."
Naga chuckled at his musical attempt and when Charlie suggested, "Give it time, you've got to give it time - I think I did it about right!" she swiftly shut him down with a firm, "No don't."
She teasingly prodded further: "It says a lot about what's in your head, doesn't it, really?"
Unfazed, Charlie retorted with a smile: "It's always in my head."
The pair had been delving into the upcoming auction of Lynch's belongings from his home, which includes memorabilia from his cult classics such as Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead, and The Elephant Man.
Naga detailed: "David Lynch, the film director who died earlier this year, obviously famed for Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive, there is an auction of his stuff and because his films are so kind of out there, you can imagine what they were like."
She highlighted some of the more quirky items up for grabs, including coffee machines from the Twin Peaks diner, a log lady ceramic mug complete with a faux log handle, walkie talkies labelled with his name from movie sets, a duo of taxidermied deer heads, and a crimson curtain from the infamous Red Room sequence.
Lynch passed away at the age of 78 on January 15, succumbing to cardiac arrest induced by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Confined to his home due to emphysema from his chain-smoking habits, his demise was later linked to the COPD condition he battled.
In an emotional admission last year, Lynch stated on X: "Ladies and Gentlemen, yes, I have emphysema from my many years of smoking.
"I have to say that I enjoyed smoking very much, and I do love tobacco - the smell of it, lighting cigarettes on fire, smoking them - but there is a price to pay for this enjoyment, and the price for me is emphysema."
He continued in grateful spirits, despite his diagnosis: "I have now quit smoking for over two years. Recently I had many tests and the good news is that I am in excellent shape except for emphysema. I am filled with happiness, and I will never retire. I want you all to know that I really appreciate your concern. Love, David."
Naga on BBC Breakfast noted that Lynch's personal items such as lighters and ashtrays were up for auction, described as "in a macabre touch".
BBC Breakfast airs every weekday starting at 6am on BBC One and iPlayer.

Sparks sizzle between EastEnders' Johnny and Callum - but a warning is issued
EastEnders' Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) may have slammed the brakes on son-in-law Callum Highway (Tony Clay) affair with Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff), but they just can't keep away from each other next week. The pair hooked up last month after sharing a surprise kiss during the Pride event at The Albert, which effectively ended Johnny's romance with recently departed Felix Baker (Matthew James Morrison). Callum was wracked with guilt about sleeping with Johnny as he is still married to Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden), who is currently serving a six-year prison sentence for fraud in the States. While that didn't stop Callum going back for more, their secret affair was soon uncovered by Ben's furious father Phil, who violently attacked Johnny. Since then, the pair have cooled things off, with Callum insisting he is committed to waiting for Ben. However, things begin to heat up again in forthcoming scenes as Callum flirts over text with Johnny, who is away on a cruise with his mum Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and his younger siblings. As Callum later enjoys a girl's day with stepdaughter Lexi Pearce (Isabella Brown), who is upset following a phone call with dad Ben, Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) pales when he spots the flirty exchange on Callum's phone. Jay warns his friend off going there again with Johnny, but will Callum listen to reason? Last seen in March 2024, it was recently reported that actor Max Bowden is set to reprise his role as Ben for a guest stint ahead of a potential full-time return.

Inside Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty's split as shock details of how TV power couple's relationship broke down revealed
CLOSE friends of Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty say their marriage was effectively over six months ago after drifting apart for an unexpected reason. Since marrying in 2012 they'd both successfully juggled their busy careers with their equally hectic family lives as parents to two young children. 9 Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty's marriage was effectively over six months ago, according to their friends Credit: Getty 9 Cat and Patrick met on the set of BBC One talent show Fame Academy in 2002 Credit: BBC 9 Things in their relationship seemed to change when they moved back from the US Credit: Getty But all that seemed to change after they permanently moved back from the US, where Cat had a huge presenting career, to the UK. And for the past two years Patrick, 54, has spent much of his time in Dublin where he hosts The Late Late Show while Cat, 48, has been in London fronting This Morning since March, 2024. They made an official announcement and the couple, who have two young children together, stressed that there was no third party involved. Last night a source close to the couple said: 'Everyone knew the marriage was over in March. They were living separate lives and it was very clear when she didn't go to his mother's funeral that month. 'She'd been living in England to work on This Morning and he was back in Ireland - they only spent time together for the kids. No major signs 'It's a huge shock as everyone saw them as one of the most normal and down to earth couples in showbusiness and there were no major signs that anything was seriously wrong for some time.' They have two children Milo, nine, and James, seven, and have a family home in North London since Cat and Patrick moved back to the UK five years ago. She had been enjoying a successful presenting career in Los Angeles for almost 14 years. They said in a joint statement to the PA news agency: 'We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved. 'We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. This Morning's Cat Deeley reveals her REAL name as she's reunited with her old teacher live on air 'There will be no further comment.' Leaving America saw them swap a £3.75 million pad in Beverly Hills for a £4.9 million five-bedroom house in Hampstead. Patrick, who comes from Co down in Northern Ireland and started his career as a stand-up comedian, began hosting The Late Late Show in Dublin from September 2023 in Dublin. He also made his first feature film and two TV documentaries, all based in Ireland and Northern Ireland. CAT'S CAREER 1997: Cat gets her TV break presenting MTV's chart show Hitlist UK alongside Edith Bowman. 1998 — 2005: She hits the big time with sketch comedy series SM:TV Live and music show CD:UK with Ant & Dec on ITV. 2002 — 2003: Cat starts co-hosting two series of Fame Academy on BBC One with Patrick Kielty. 2006: She bags job fronting long-running US reality show So You Think You Can Dance. 2024: Starts co-hosting ITV's This Morning with Ben Shephard. Cat started hosting This Morning from March last year, a job which would see her spend four days a week fronting the flagship daytime TV show with co-host Ben Shephard, 50. But they returned five years ago with Cat saying in an interview: 'We had always thought: 'Our boys have grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins they adore, and they adore them right back'. 'It's such a special moment in time and you don't get those times back.' 9 For the past two years, Patrick has spent much of his time in Dublin where he hosts The Late Late Show Credit: Free for editorial use 9 Since marrying in 2012 Patrick and Cat both successfully juggled their busy careers Credit: Getty 9 Cat started hosting This Morning from March last year with co-host Ben Shephard Credit: Rex But Cat was under huge scrutiny last year when she took over hosting This Morning following the departure of Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield the previous year. Despite she and Ben Shephard being seen as a safe pair of hands the ratings dipped almost from the moment they arrived and only plateaued later in 2024. PAT'S CAREER 1991: Patrick kicks off his stand-up comedy career at The Gasworks in Dublin. 1997: He launches multiple shows in Ireland including show Patrick Kielty Almost Live. 2002 — 2003: Co-hosts Fame Academy with Cat. 2005 — 2006: He co-hosts Celebrity Love Island with Kelly Brook and then Fearne Cotton. 2012 — 2022: Patrick makes a string of documentaries for the BBC and Northern Ireland TV shows and wins an RTS award. 2023: He starts hosting The Late Late Show. West Bromwich-born Cat, who shot to fame on Saturday morning TV show SM:TV in the late Nineties with pals Ant & Dec, moved to the US in 2006 to forge a new career hosting So You Think you Can Dance? It was the same year that she divorced her first husband Mark Whelan after five years of marriage. Cat and Patrick had met on the set of BBC One talent show Fame Academy in 2002 but it would be almost another decade before their friendship turned into a romance. In an incredible gesture he rang her on her birthday from Ireland, then hopped on a plane to meet her in the US and celebrate her special day together. I drop the ball all the time. I'm exactly the same as everybody else. Cat Deeley They went public with their relationship in 2011 and wed in Rome the following year and the family resided in Los Angeles to be close to her work. The move back to the UK was partly down to the family being caught up in a shooter incident in a local mall. In an interview she recalled how Patrick called her from a Shake Shack restaurant after he hadn't returned from playgroup with their son, Milo. The TV presenter revealed that her son and her husband had been out for burgers when they were forced to lie behind the counter after a shooter scare. 9 The couple balanced hectic family lives as parents to two young children Credit: Splash 9 Cat was under huge scrutiny last year when she took over hosting This Morning Credit: Getty 9 It was almost a decade after meeting that Patrick and Cat's friendship turned into a romance Credit: Getty Cat said: 'As I was driving I began to see helicopters, news vans, firemen and Swat squads. 'Everyone was either told to lie behind the counter or pushed into the loos. People were screaming and crying. Then as they were all hiding, the FBI turned up with guns. 'Paddy kept Milo calm – he didn't really know what was going on – and in the end it just turned out to be a suspect package but… Milo [was] three years old. "Something like that has happened to him. The gun laws in America are crazy.' She admitted the incident made her reconsider staying in the US. Talking about trying to juggle her work life with family life last year she said: 'I drop the ball all the time. I'm exactly the same as everybody else. 'I do the juggle – the juggle is real, the struggle is real. You know, we know, we're all just trying to make everything work.'
