Naga Munchetty Reveals Love for Wuthering Heights Due to 'Cruel' Female Lead

BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty has confessed her admiration for Emily Brontë's classic novel Wuthering Heights, but not for the reasons one might expect. The 45-year-old revealed that she is drawn to the book because its female protagonist, Cathy, is 'cruel'.

Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, Munchetty said: 'It showed me that women do not have to be likeable, that they can be hateful and that love isn't glorious. I sound so dark by saying that - dark of heart.' She added: 'Cathy is a hateful character, she is cruel. And I love her, I absolutely love her. Does that sound really awful?'
