BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty was not impressed with her co-host’s comments during the show on Friday.
On the April 14th episode, sports correspondent Jane Dougall discussed the latest updates in the cricket world, mentioning the team had “78 years of experience.”
While Jane was sharing her update, Naga and Charlie Stayt, regular hosts of the show, were sitting opposite her.
Jane spoke about how she loved that older players were teaching the younger ones how to play.
Naga responded by saying, “Don’t ever underestimate experience.”
She then pointed out the obvious by saying, “Exactly, there’s a coach full of it here,” gesturing towards herself and Charlie.
Jane replied, “I love it, 78 years of experience on the pitch, I love it,” which led to Naga saying, “Thanks Jane, we’re old, thanks.”
The segment ended with a smile, indicating that Naga did not take the comment too seriously.
However, BBC viewers had mixed reactions to the exchange, with some calling Naga rude and others praising her for looking stunning.
This incident happened a day after Ainsley Harriott, a TV chef, left BBC Breakfast reporter Tim Muffett outside alone after shutting the door on him.
During a report, Tim and Ainsley were out doorknocking when Ainsley went inside a woman’s house mid-report, leaving Tim outside.
The hosts of the show, Naga and Charlie, pointed out that the door had been shut without Tim’s knowledge, leaving him baffled.
Ainsley’s behavior drew criticism from viewers who thought it was rude.
In summary, Naga Munchetty responded sarcastically to Jane Dougall’s comments about cricketing experience during the BBC Breakfast show on April 14.
She brushed off the comment with a smile, and the segment continued without further incident.
This exchange was followed by another incident involving Ainsley Harriott leaving a reporter outside a house, which drew criticism from viewers.
