BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty forced to stop wearing two outfits after viewer comments

Naga Munchetty has revealed that she's had to stop wearing certain outfits from her BBC Breakfast wardrobe following viewer comments. The 49-year-old presenter shared instances where she felt compelled to ditch specific dresses after receiving negative feedback from the audience.

During her appearance on Room 101 with host Paul Merton, Naga was questioned about the pressures of being a female presenter and whether she has faced criticism over her clothes. She recounted: "There's only one time I've taken it on board and never worn an outfit again. One and a half. The first time, I wore this dress on breakfast and it had a geometric print and two people said it was causing them migraines, so I said 'Absolutely fine, I won't wear that again'.

"Then there was another one: I bought this brilliant dress, I still have it, this was about ten to twelve years ago and it was black and had all these eyes on it. Two people emailed in saying it was scaring them and giving the nightmares. So that one I have worn since but I haven't worn it much."

This admission follows an episode where Naga was branded "rude" on a recent BBC Breakfast show for spitting out food during a live segment. She and co-host Charlie Stayt were tasting insect-based protein, as part of a discussion with Dr Ralph Munders from the University of Surrey, who is conducting research into the benefits of entomophagy, reports the Express.

He came bearing muffins for the presenters to sample, and as they began sampling both a standard muffin and one teeming with bugs, viewers watched on. Naga grimaced as she tasted the bug-laden muffin, promptly spitting it out into a tissue and washing down the unpleasant flavour with water from her mug.

Charlie, 61, quizzed her with a "Which did you think? " but she remained tight-lipped, leading Charlie to comment: "Not speaking right now."

Despite Naga's distaste, declaring "They're both pretty bad if I'm honest", Charlie seemed to take pleasure in the insect muffin, saying: "I don't think so, I quite liked the first one."
