BBC Breakfast viewers jeered 'she's not impressed' as Naga Munchettystared down a 'mansplaining' Charlie Stayt before an 'awkward' interview.

The two news anchors hosted Friday's instalment of the daily show on BBC One and fans watching seemed to notice some tension.

On Thursday,Nagawas photographedkeeping her distance from her BBC Breakfast co-star Charlie and show editor as she left the studios in Manchester amid a rumoured feud and bulling row.

And during the most recent instalment, some viewers noticed Naga appeared unimpressed.

Someone sarcastically 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'.

It comes after The Mail's Katie Hind revealed tensions between the show editor, Richard Frediani and Naga.

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.

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.'

Richard became editor of theflagship news programme in 2019.

Meanwhile Naga has been part of the BBC Breakfast team since 2014 and Charlie has been on the programme since 2006.

Jon Kay and Sully Nugent present the show Monday to Wednesday.

The stand-in presenters include Roger Johnson, Rachel Burden, Ben Thompson, Tina Daheley, Nina Warhurst and Ben Boulos.

BBC Breakfast first aired in 2000.

Watch BBC Breakfast every morning from 6am on BBC One and is available to stream on ITVX.
