Naga Munchetty has revealed her true feelings towards her BBC Breakfast co-star Charlie Stayt amid feud rumours behind the scenes of the show – and admitted ‘you can fake’ being friends on camera.
The presenter, 50, has made headlines recently with reports about alleged rifts between her colleagues.
Last month, viewers commented how Naga looked ‘unimpressed’ with ‘mansplaining’ Charlie, 62.
While The Mail’s Katie Hind revealed tensions between the show editor, Richard Frediani, and Naga.
But the broadcaster delved into how she really feels about some things in a recent interview with The Times.
Though according to the publication Charlie is ‘good friend’ of Naga, she revealed her thoughts on sofa chemistry.

‘Oh you can fake it, of course you can,’ Naga said.
She also shared her take on dealing with various ‘egos’ in the workplace.
‘You wrestle with egos all the time, in front and behind the camera,’ she added. ‘Know your worth.’
It comes as Naga was photographed keeping her distance from her BBC Breakfast co-star Charlie and show editor as she left the studios in Manchester amid the rumoured feud and bulling row.
Some staff have shared their unhappiness with the show’s editor, who has been accused by insiders of being on occasion ‘aggressive’ and ‘belittling’ towards his underlings.
Sources on the show say that Naga has expressed uneasiness about his behaviour to bosses at the corporation.
An insider says that Naga is ‘quite open’ about her ill-feeling towards Frediani, while another says that she has an ‘uneasy relationship’ with him.
The Mail can reveal that displeasure is intensifying at the BBC’s northern base in Salford, where staff have watched Frediani’s rise – from Breakfast boss to arguably the most powerful BBC editor outside London.

Though according to The Times Charlie is ‘good friend’ of Naga, she revealed her thoughts on sofa chemistry
One said ‘You have to wonder what on Earth is going on.
‘The BBC claims to be this no-nonsense, woke, kind place – yet Fredi has been able to keep climbing the ladder.
‘HR and his bosses are aware of [past] bullying claims against him.
‘He’s still allowed to hire, as we saw with Nina [Warhurst, who has just been appointed a regular presenter] this week, and presumably fire.
‘He has so much power, it doesn’t feel right at all.’
While during a BBC Breakfast episode last month, one viewersarcastically posted on X: ‘As ever Naga looking impressed with Charlie’s mansplaining of the trivial news item slot.’
Another sensed more possible discomfort when Naga spoke to a woman discussing Trading Standards.
They commented: ‘Naga being awkward as possible towards the Trading Standards lady #bbcbreakfast.’
While someone else claimed Charlie seemed tired and said: ‘Charlie looks absolutely shattered. #BBCBreakfast.’
Though yesterday, some fans praised the hosts and one said: ‘Love Naga Munchetty’s sass and wit on BBC. Keep slaying, girl!’
And another complimented, ‘Charlie is great’.
Naga also opened up about her life long battle with adenomyosis after years of dealing with excruciating pain and no answers to solve it.
The BBC presenter lived with painful heavy bleeding, vomiting, fainting and severe aching every two and a half weeks for 32 years before a private doctor finally gave her a diagnosis in 2022.
Adenomyosis is a condition where the lining of the womb (uterus) starts growing into the muscle in the wall of the womb. It can affect one in 10 women, as per the NHS.

She told The Sunday Times: ‘It makes you angry. If you are second-guessing that you are not strong enough to be a woman, that you are weaker than all the other women because you’re told it’s all normal, everyone’s going through it, you second-guess other parts of your life.’
‘I’ve never been suicidal but definitely, because there were no answers, I just thought, I can’t go through this in another two and a half weeks. It just needs to stop’, she added.
Before she was diagnosed, in 2019 Naga opted to get sterilised in an attempt to stop her symptoms because she thought it was her ‘only option’.
