Naga Munchetty Fires Back at Carol Kirkwood and Reveals Painful Health Battle in BBC Breakfast Shake-Up

BBC Breakfast viewers witnessed a lighthearted exchange between Naga Munchetty and weather presenter Carol Kirkwood during Thursday’s episode. The playful banter kicked off after host Charlie Stayt joked about who might portray Carol in a music video.

The discussion began when Charlie referenced Elton John’s iconic music video, asking: “Who do you think would play Carol in the video?” Teasing the situation further, he added: “Well, she’s listening, so I’m not going to say. I can feel her presence”, reported by the Express.

Naga, known for her quick wit, chimed in: “You can feel her eyes boring into the side of you. Morning, Carol!” Charlie diplomatically responded, “I’m saying nothing”, according to Lancs Live.

Carol joined in on the banter, playfully agreeing: “That’s probably for the best, Charlie.” Naga, staying in the spirit, remarked: “I should probably learn that lesson from time to time, I think.”

In a cheeky comeback, Carol quipped: “Absolutely, Naga, that could be your New Year’s resolution.” Naga quickly hit back with a smile, “Yeah, alright! Fat chance!” The exchange ended on a light note as the presenters moved on to the weather update.

While Naga’s humor shines on-screen, the BBC Breakfast host has recently shared details of a more personal journey. Naga, who has long been a vocal advocate for women’s health, is preparing to release her debut book titled “It’s Probably Nothing: Critical Conversations on the Women’s Health Crisis”. Set for release in May 2025, the book explores the challenges women face in healthcare, from diagnosis to treatment.

Announcing the project on social media, Naga wrote: “IT’S PROBABLY NOTHING is an exploration of the healthcare difficulties women face, from being heard to diagnosed and treated. In the book, I share my own experiences as well as those of many others, speaking to doctors and experts at every step of the way. Pre-order it now #ItsProbablyNothing.”

Naga courageously opens up about her own struggle with adenomyosis, a condition where the uterine lining breaks through the muscle wall, causing chronic pain. Reflecting on her experience, she previously admitted: “The pain was so terrible I couldn’t move, turn over, sit up. I screamed non-stop for 45 minutes… I am in pain. Constant, nagging pain. In my uterus. Around my pelvis. Sometimes it runs down my thighs.”

Naga’s candid revelations and her upcoming book promise to shed light on the systemic gaps in women’s healthcare while amplifying the voices of those who have faced similar challenges.
