Munchetty

Things took an amusing turn on BBC Breakfast after beloved host Naga Munchetty made a mistake live on air before clearing up any confusion with viewers.

Naga Munchetty was reassured by her co-host after she slipped up on BBC Breakfast this morning.

The BBC show returned to screens on Saturday (April 11) for another instalment. Naga and Charlie Stayt were back at the helm to discuss some of the biggest stories hitting the headlines, including the news of Artemis II returning to earth.

But things took an awkward turn when Naga – who has been a staple on the long-running programme for several years – made a small blunder while on air. Talking to viewers, Naga told them the time.

“It’s 13 minutes past one,” the popular presenter stated, before realising her mistake. She declared: “Oh no! 13 minutes past seven is the time.”

Turning to co-host Charlie, Naga added: “I don’t even know what I was thinking!” Charlie then chimed in: “Can I hazard a guess that you were still in ‘what time did Artemis come down’?” referring to the astronaut crew of Artemis returning to Earth early in the morning.

Talking about the time the crew landed on Earth, Charlie added: “Which was I think seven minutes past one. You’re stuck in that moment maybe?”

A cringing Naga then addressed the viewers, clarifying: “Can I just say for everyone watching, you haven’t got up too early or you haven’t overslept. It’s 13 minutes past seven!”

In the early hours of Saturday morning (April 11) the astronauts of Artemis 2 returned from the Moon with a splashdown in the Pacific. Rick Henfling, the mission’s entry flight director, says the Artemis 2 crew is “happy and healthy” after landing.

He said: “I saw Victor (Glover) was smiling and in good spirits, everyone is happy and healthy and ready to come back to Houston.”

The crew travelled 252,756 miles (406,771 kilometres) from Earth, smashing the distance milestone of 248,655 miles (400,171 kilometres) previously held by the Apollo 13 crew for 56 years.

Their epic voyage took them around the far side of the Moon, normally hidden to the human eye, which included a 40-minute communication blackout when they were cut off entirely from their home planet.

BBC Breakfast airs Monday to Sunday at 6am on BBC One.

BBC Breakfast’s weather presenter promised it wasn’t all bad news for this holiday weekend

One of the hosts of BBC Breakfast shared their own warning to viewers who might be planning an Easter egg hunt this weekend.

The morning show returned to screens on Saturday (April 4) for another regular instalment despite it being an extended bank holiday weekend. As usual, it delivered the day’s top stories from the UK and across the world, including the latest from Iran and updates over the Artemis II launch.

Today’s show was presented by Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt as they provided the latest on the headlines and more. One of the biggest stories of the latest edition of the show was weather updates ahead of the expected arrival of Storm Dave hitting the country.

Ahead of the latest update Naga had her own message for viewers at home. She told the audience: “It is Easter weekend. If you’re out on an Easter egg hunt, perhaps you may need to time it. I think Louise is going to tell us more about that.”

It seems that Naga was advising those at home they may have only a limited time to mark Easter Sunday before the effects of Storm Dave are felt. However, BBC Breakfast’s weather presenter Louise Lear began her report by saying: “I don’t want you all to think the weather is going to be hideous because of Storm Dave.”

She emphasised that it is later today that the storm is due to hit, addressing those who might be wondering when the worst of the weather is due to begin. She added: “There is some tricky weather out there, particularly overnight.”

Multiple weather warnings are currently in place across the UK over the weekend with gusts between 70 – 90mph from later today until tomorrow morning.

This could threaten many people’s plans for this Easter holiday weekend and, as Naga hinted, present limited time if you often take part in Easter egg hunts outside.

Storm Dave is due to hit parts of the UK over the weekend and could cause disruption to travel plans. It is expected to hit hardest on Saturday evening, before beginning to weaken on Sunday as it moves into the North Sea. Louise did end her report by predicting that Easter Monday will be the ‘better’ day of the three this weekend.

The Met Office’s forecast said: “A rapidly deepening area of low pressure, Storm Dave, will cross Scotland on Saturday night before clearing into the North Sea on Sunday.”

Those travelling during the warning period have been told there could be disruption on the roads as well as on rail, air and ferry services. There could also be dangerous conditions from large waves along the coastline as well as gusts of up to 90mph in exposed areas.

The Met Office also warned some areas could experience power cuts, while warning “injuries and danger to life from flying debris are possible”. Earlier, the RAC predicted it would be the busiest Easter on the roads since 2022.

BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One and streams on iPlayer.
