BBC Breakfast: Naga corrects Matt Tebbutt after mistake

Naga Munchetty was forced to step in to correct her co-star on Saturday Morning. BBC Breakfast kicks off on Saturday morning from 6am, with Charlie Stayt and Naga at the helm of the show. They would normally hand over to Matt and his team at 10am, but due to a schedule shakeup this weekend, the food programme had been brought forward to start 30 minutes earlier.

Heading to the Saturday Kitchen studio to discuss the show's lineup, Naga welcomed: "Good morning. It's a little bit of an earlier start for you today," she asked: "How does that feel?"

With food critic Tom Parker-Bowles and Strictly Come Dancing star Craig Revel Horwood at his side, host Matt confessed: "Yes it is, we're on at 09:30am today and we're in the middle of rehearsing, hence the mess around me."

Strictly judge Craig commented: "Are you talking about me darling?" As Matt said: "No not you, him," and pointed towards Tom who was standing next to him.

Matt then went around the room, asking each person on the show to give a brief overview of what they had to come on the programme.

After all of his guests and usual co-stars had finished explaining their part in the show, Matt expected to hand back over to the BBC Breakfast hosts in the studio but was instead faced with Naga, who had to step in.

Despite previously discussing the programme's earlier start time with Naga, Matt still couldn't understand the show switch.

Addressing his BBC Breakfast co-stars, Matt said: "There you go, lots going on, we'll see you at 10am," as Naga stepped in to correct his error, adding: "No you won't, you'll see us at 9.30am."

Looking red-faced, the host shot back, telling Naga: "9.30am, 9.30am, you'll see us at 9.30am." Teasing Matt over his error, Naga responded: "Well done, Matt. Thank goodness you're rehearsing there, hey," as he and his Saturday Kitchen co-stars began to laugh hysterically at his blunder.

Meanwhile earlier this week Naga came under fire after with viewers who were left unimpressed after the host seemingly berated Kemi Badenoch for not watching Netflix's crime drama series Adolescence.

Charlie proceeded to ask Kemi: 'Have you watched Adolescence yet?' to which Kemi honestly replied: "No no I haven't, I probably won't. It's a film on Netflix, and most of my time right now is spent visiting the country..."

Shocked, Naga cut in, adding: "It's a four-part series on Netflix, and everyone is talking about it. It is prompting conversations about toxic masculinity, smartphone use, young men feeling that they're being ignored, and the idea of misogyny being increased in school."

Naga quizzed: "Why would you not want to know what people are talking about?" Kemi told her: "Well, I think that they are all important issues, and those are issues that I've been talking about for a long time.

She continued: 'But in the same way that I don't need to watch Casualty to know what's going on in the NHS, I don't need to watch a specific Netflix drama to understand what's going on, it's a fictional series, it is not a documentary."

BBC Breakfast airs every day from 6am on BBC One.
