BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty says 'I'll have to get out of this' after awkward mix up

Naga Munchetty was left biting her nails as she told viewers she'd been left thinking "I'll have to get out this one" after a mix-up with one of her BBC Breakfast co-stars in the studio today.

Things took an amusing turn for Naga on Saturday's episode (Aug 9) as she and co-host Charlie Stayt had been readying to hand over the presenting baton to meteorologist Simon King to deliver on the weather for the week ahead.

Up until this point in the show, Simon had been delivering the news that further sunshine would lay ahead in the days to come with a heatwave very much scheduled to hit the UK - news welcomed by many across Britain.

Unbeknown to Naga, Simon had changed up his routine from earlier in the show and decided to start his weather report with grey skies and rain. As the BBC 5 Live star turned around to face him mid-sentence, she realised it wasn't the news she had been talking about on-air.

The two hosts had been discussing UK beaches and the association with long pleasure piers in this country when Naga had hoped the sunny weather would tie in with their chitter.

"I think Simon will tell us..." she said before, realising her mistake and quipping: "It doesn't quite look like it there!"

Attempting to rectify the awkward segway, Simon jested: "I always try to link what you are going to say with the weather.

"It hasn't worked," he added, as Naga admitting it was an error on her part, saying: "I turned around thinking, yes, there'll be a visual of sunshine or something and then, 'Ahh I'll have to get out of this one!'"

Simon told her: "I'd been starting with the sunshine all morning but thought I'd focus now on the rain because we've had quite a bit across Scotland and Northern Ireland."

Naga then told him "thank you" as they attempted to move on from the on-air blunder.
