BBC Breakfast's host issues five-word dig at Naga Munchetty leaving her speechless

BBC Breakfast's Ben Thompson revealed the one word he constantly stumbles over during a segment on the show as the presenter admitted he struggled to say the word "squirrels".

When it cut back to the presenters they continued to discuss his problem as he repeated the word saying: "I've been practising."

Addressing sports reporter Chetan Pathak, Naga sympathetically said: "But there is always a word isn't there...that one stumbles over?"

Empathising with Ben he responded: "It's early morning right. Cut him some slack." This led Naga to exclaim: "I was being nice..."

However Ben couldn't let that slide and issued a five-word dig: "I'm not used to that," leaving Naga cringing. However, in case viewers took the banter seriously Chetan clarified: "Naga is always nice and lovely and kind."

The cheeky exchange came after things got saucy earlier in the show as the presenters discussed the auroras, which were visible across the UK on Friday night (May 11) following a solar storm.

Weather presenter Simon King apologised to host Ben after he became very descriptive discussing the spectacular natural phenomenon.

"We've had over 3,000 weather watcher photographs from last night," he told Ben and Naga.

"Absolutely incredible pictures and...I don't know how I can pick them out because they are all just incredible," he gushed.

"I woke up last night - I got too excited. I was up at 3.30am this morning to come in to work, but I woke up in the middle of the night and I went outside half naked in my garden, [took a] picture, it was magical.

"First time I've ever seen it!" he exclaimed. "And you could see it with the naked eye as well."
