Charlie Stayt can't resist swipe at 'confused' Naga Munchetty as she 'comes over all funny' and suffers embarrassing BBC Breakfast blunder
Charlie Stayt could not resist swiping at his 'confused' co-host Naga Munchetty after she 'came over all funny' and suffered an embarrassing BBC Breakfast blunder.
The presenters anchored today's episode of the popular morning news show, diving into all of today's biggest headlines.
Charlie, 62, and Naga, 50, normally take the reins from Thursday to Saturday, from colleagues Jon Kay, 55, and Sally Nugent, 53.
But not all was business as usual as Naga made a blunder by mixing up the names of two of the specialist presenters joining them live on air.
The awkward moment came as the programme transitioned between sports presenter Mike Bushell's segment and the forecast from weatherman Matt Taylor.

As the camera returned to Charlie and Naga after Mike, 59, presented the sporting headlines, Naga said: 'An impressive record to beat as well, thanks Matt. Erm, Mike, Matt!'
She quickly smoothed over her tongue-tied moment with some self-deprecating humour: 'Mike was doing the sport. Matt is doing the weather. I'll get it right.
'It's not like I've worked with them for years or anything like that!'
Charlie chuckled, teasing: 'Maybe you're getting confused because there's a heat warning in place and it's already affecting you!'
Naga shot back playfully, as the camera showed weatherman Matt, 49: 'Maybe it is, maybe I'm coming over all funny, Matt.'
The forecaster chimed in: 'The heat and humidity getting to you I think Naga, yes!'
His segment showed the weather today is certainly unusual, with the first yellow heat warnings of the year.
Temperatures are predicted to hit dizzying highs of 30C in parts of the east of England.
She quickly smoothed over her tongue-tied moment with some self-deprecating humour: 'It's not like I've worked with them for years or anything like that!'
The Met Office has also issued a thunderstorm warning, with some regions expected to face more than half a month's worth of rain in a short time - causing flash floods.
Elsewhere on the programme, Naga and Charlie provided updates about the devastating air strikes on Iran, initiated by Israel overnight.
They also interviewed stars of Race Across The World, the BBC reality show which sees pairs undertake an epic cross-continental journey - without smartphones, credit cards or the internet.
It comes after viewers heavily criticised Naga and Charlie after yesterday's episode of BBC Breakfast.
At one point in the programme, Naga interviewed deputy Liberal Democrat leader Daisy Cooper.
The presenter wanted to get her 'overall impression' of Chancellor Rachel Reeves's spending review, presented to Parliament on Wednesday.
But those watching at home were not very impressed with the interview.
One wrote on X: 'Just awful interviewing by Naga Munchetty.
'Daisy Cooper doing quite a good job and being interrupted and asked stupid questions. Where did she learn to interview? Kindergarten level.';
'Naga [is] sounding like a deranged parrot... "How are you going to pay for it? How are you going to pay for it? How are you going to pay for it?"'
Later in the episode, Charlie interviewed the Chancellor herself, calling in from a hospital in Derby - and viewers rushed to X to deliver similar criticisms.
One brutally tweeted: 'Charlie!.. You're useless! You let her rabbit on without answering a question! You need to resign!';
'That was a waste of time. Charlie is f***ing useless.';
'Why is Charlie letting Rachel from Complaints rabbit on without answering a question?'
Breakfast is available to watch every morning from 6am on BBC One and to stream on iPlayer.

Shocking moment floodwater gushes down streets as parts of Britain are hit by intense thunderstorms on hottest day of the year
Floodwater gushed down residential streets on Friday night as parts of Britain were hit by an intense thunderstorm on the hottest day of the year so far. The UK recorded its warmest day of 2025 on Friday, with temperatures reaching a sizzling 29C, the Met Office said. However, the forecasting service warned thunderstorms were 'pushing into' the Channel, with an amber weather warning for severe thunderstorms in the east and south-east coming into force at 8pm on Friday. Dramatic footage taken in Dover last night shows an intense stream of water flowing down a residential road, before a moving car with its hazard lights on comes into view. The vehicle appears to be moved down the street by the extreme force of the water, which resembles a flooded river or stream. Elsewhere, around London, a video clip shows huge lightening strikes in the sky over houses, with those inside the properties shouting out in awe. Yellow and amber thunderstorm warnings are set to be in place for large parts of the country tomorrow as the unstable weather continues into the weekend. It comes as some parts of the UK were simultaneously plunged into official drought after the driest spring in over a century. Forecasters warned the coming days would bring wild swings between tropical heat and violent downpours. The Met Office warned some areas could be hit by up to two inches of rain in just a few hours, with gusty winds reaching up to 50mph, lightning strikes, hail, and the risk of flooding and travel chaos. The violent storms could unleash hail, lightning, and gusty winds, while heavy cloud cover and high humidity may keep things sweltering and uncomfortable overnight. Amid all the chaos, the Environment Agency officially declared a drought in Yorkshire this week, where some areas have seen less than 50 percent of average rainfall this spring and just three-quarters of the May average. It follows a similar move in north-west England last month, and a developing drought zone in parts of the Welsh Water network. The agency warned that the prolonged dry period has drastically reduced water supplies and could pose a serious risk to wildlife, agriculture, and public health. Hosepipe bans and water restrictions may be introduced if the situation worsens. Residents struggle to stop flooding in their homes and businesses in Devon this week A spokesperson said: 'A drought is a prolonged dry period that reduces available water supplies and can negatively impact the environment, people and wildlife.' Simon Partridge added: 'We've got a very warm, humid, spell of wet weather to come.' Under the UKHSA's alert system, the yellow alert signals a likely increase in healthcare demand, particularly from over-65s and people with heart or lung conditions.

Met Office issues fresh thunderstorms warning for this weekend with up to 50mm of rain to hit in hours
Nawal Abdisamad Published: Invalid Date, THE MET Office has issued a fresh warning for thunderstorms this weekend, with up to 50mm of rain expected to fall in just a few hours. The alert signals the arrival of severe weather, bringing the risk of flooding, hail, and lightning strikes across the UK. 4 4 4 Brits are urged to be prepared as intense storms are set to hit several regions, sparking concerns of widespread disruption. The weather warnings will affect several areas, including London, the South East, and the East of England, from 8pm this evening until 5am on Saturday morning. There is also a follow-up amber warning that continues until 5am on Monday. The Met Office has highlighted the risk of "fast flowing or deep floodwater" that could endanger lives, with some communities potentially becoming cut off due to flooding. During the thunderstorms, some parts of the UK could receive up to 50mm of rain in just a few hours. This will bring major disruption, including road closures, train cancellations, and power outages. The Met Office also warned of the potential for strong winds, reaching up to 50mph, which could exacerbate the impact of the storms. Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin commented that the day would start off 'hot and humid,' with some areas of the country potentially seeing temperatures climb as high as 30°C. However, conditions will soon change, with thunderstorms beginning around 2pm in Wales and the South West, spreading to other areas later in the day. Parts of southern England, including London, could see temperatures remain as high as 28°C on Friday evening, though the heat will quickly give way to more unsettled weather. With 30–50mm of rain expected in some areas before the storms ease early on Saturday, residents across Greater London, Plymouth, Bath, Brighton, Norwich, and parts of the South East are advised to remain alert. Cardiff and other southern regions could experience the heaviest downpours, with some areas possibly receiving up to 80mm of rain. This level of rainfall is likely to cause significant surface water flooding, making driving conditions dangerous and leading to the risk of accidents. The situation has already caused significant flooding in parts of the South West, particularly in Plymouth, where local residents battled knee-deep water. The storms have already resulted in closures, with some roads, such as Gdynia Way and Kings Street, shut down due to flooding. The Theatre Royal in Plymouth has also closed its doors as a result of flood damage. James Mackenzie-Blackman, Chief Executive and Artistic Director of TRP, stated: 'The torrential rain has required us to close the Theatre Royal today as we continue to deal with a significant flood into our basement. Our priority is the safety of our staff, our artists, visitors and participants.' In addition to the potential flooding, strong winds of up to 50mph are expected to cause problems along coasts and hills, further complicating the situation for drivers and emergency services. Local authorities have advised caution when travelling, particularly in affected areas, as there may be delays and possible cancellations to train and bus services. The disruption could continue into the weekend, particularly in areas where floodwater lingers. The Met Office has issued a warning about the increased risk of power cuts, especially in areas where storms bring lightning strikes. Residents are urged to be prepared for the possibility of service interruptions, with some homes and businesses potentially losing power due to the extreme weather. The public is encouraged to monitor the weather closely and take precautions to protect themselves and their property. 4

Rain at last but age-old patterns are moving fast
R ain at last, sweeping over dust-dry Suffolk in pulse after pulse, thinning as it marched eastwards, as it usually does, but enough to do more than just dampen the parched fields and wet the soil. Rain to refill the water butts and top up garden ponds; to turn dusty roads into brief, shining rivers, raindrops bouncing fatly up in a mist. Rain to move the moss down roofs towards the gutters and knock the petals from the first, spent roses, to wash the trees' dry leaves and conjure worms towards the surface from deep in the soil. Butterflies and bees crept beneath leaves and waited out the first showers some have ever seen; slugs and snails, meanwhile, sallied forth into a freshly welcoming world. Froglets and toadlets, new-minted, used the welcoming wetness of the long grass to disperse from ponds and were hunted by grass snakes, their sinuous bodies shining in the rain.
