BBC Breakfast star Naga Munchetty has halted the show on Saturday morning to give co-star Charlie Stayt a telling off. The BBC Breakfast anchor was back on the show from 6am on Saturday, November 30, for the final episode of the month.

During the episode, Naga was forced to correct her co-star Charlie after he suffered an on-air mix-up while discussing a news story on the show. The pair were discussing the story of Becky Whittle and Luke Browning from Newent, whose car got trapped in storm Bert while their unborn baby was being born.

Charlie began: "A mother had to give birth to her baby boy in the car because she got stuck on her way to hospital in storm Bert, this was all because of the flooding." Naga then replied: "She wasn't stuck in the car, the car got stuck."

Charlie replied: "Yeah," with Naga affirming: "OK," before carrying on with the story: "Becky Whittle and Luke Browning were on their way to Gloucestershire hospital on Sunday, this is when little Noah was born seven weeks early."

She concluded: "They were already on a detour to avoid flooding but got stuck, a rather stressful arrival into the world for baby Noah but he is doing fine." Naga said: "Now the name, great name," while her co-presenter Charlie said: "Yeah, Noah.

"Noah, the flood. Born in a flood. Makes sense doesn't it?" Naga said: "Very cute baby." Charlie told his co-star: "A very stressful moment I suspect but all is good now," before the conversation shifted towards the forecast.

As the show then cut to weather presenter Sarah Dorothy Keith-Lucas, Naga joked: "I think if you want to know if there will be any needs for Noah's coming up Sarah." She asked: "We need some respite, don't we?"

Sarah replied: "Ohh yes we do, thankfully we've got some quieter weather on the horizon as we head across the weekend."
