BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty red-faced as she suffers mishap live on-air
BBC Breakfast Naga Munchetty suffered an awkward mishap on Friday's show
BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty was left embarrassed when she had a little on-air mishap during the programme's Friday episode.
The presenter, 50, was joined by co-host Charlie Stayt, 62, discussing the day's key topics from their renowned red sofa when she accidentally sent her water bottle flying with a kick under her desk, causing a loud commotion.
Her colleague, Charlie, was quick to tease her about the gaffe, asking: "Are you so angry about this next story that you're now kicking things under the table? What is happening here?"
To this, Naga made a face as she owned up to the accident: "It was my water bottle." Then, shifting gears to proceed with the show, she added: "But this does rile me, it really riles me."
The pair were in the midst of discussing the recent suggestion by the Liberal Democrats to outlaw the playing of loud music on public transport a move that could lead to penalties as high as £1,000 for rule breakers.
Sir Ed Davey's party is looking to alter the Bus Services Bill currently making its way through the House of Lords, aiming to ban the playing of loud music and videos from phones on buses and trains across England, reports the Express.
This suggested policy change could leverage railway byelaws that already prevent behaviours such as littering, spitting, and using offensive language.
Discussing the matter, Charlie said: "If you're in a public space and someone is loud on their device, so they're playing something or talking, having a conversation with someone else.."
Naga couldn't hide her irritation as she interjected: "Playing videos or playing music out loud without headphones, it really drives me mad and then you end up being that person who glares at them but you don't want to glare at them too much because you don't want to get into a row."
Charlie went on to clarify: "So it has been suggested now that there will be offenders on public transport, who will receive penalties of up to £1,000 so we'll see if that happens."
The programme then switched over to a segment from BBC reporter Jayne McCubbin, who brought her phone onto a train to chat with some individuals avoiding the use of headphones.
Several travellers seemed unconcerned about the noise they were causing on the train.
Back in the studio, however, Naga expressed her exasperation, remarking: "I just don't understand how they don't see that it is really annoying. It is just interrupting everyone's space of silence."
