Naga Munchetty: BBC host reacts with savage response after viewer brands her a 'witch'

Being a TV presenter is laden with all the perks but as with any job role, there are downsides too. When in the public eye you have to have tough skin and to know you can’t please everyone, something Naga Munchetty, 45, wore on her sleeve after she was labelled a “witch” by a disgruntled viewer.

During a recent interview onBBC Breakfastwith Sean Marett, the Chief Commercial Officer of BioNTech who along with their partner Pfizer, have created acoronavirusvaccinewhich is being rolled out to the public as of this week, the viewer took it upon themselves to shower theBBCstar with criticism of her job performance.

But she didn’t let it bother her in the slightest.

Replying to a clip from the officialTwitteraccount of BBC Breakfast, the rude user snapped: “Nagger shut up and let people answer you are an expert on nothing except on being an overpaid biased witch!”

The derogatory misspelling of her name led people to believe the user known as ‘Rosie’ was sailing very close to the mark as they rushed to defend Naga’s honour.

Elsewhere, Naga left another viewer wondering whether her relationship with co-host Charlie Stayt was as “dry” as we see on-screen, after she refused to partake in his pantomime joke.

It comes after they discussed the return of the festive performing arts, with Charlie excitedly saying: “After lots of uncertainty the pantomime season has finally begun.”

He then pointed towards his co-star, as she shook her head, “No way. I’m not saying it,” she said.

Following her refusal, Charlie noted they would repeat the segment as he delivered the introduction with more enthusiasm.

He exclaimed: “Let’s do it again…” with the presenter repeating his previous lines before Naga finally caved: “Oh yes it has,” she grinned.
