BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty, known for her chic bob, looked unrecognisable in a throwback snap from her teenage years. The 48-year-old presenter appeared on Comedy Central's 'Rhod Gilbert's Growing Pains' in November 2022, where a picture showed her with curly chin-length hair, a stark contrast to her current cropped style.
During the episode, Munchetty described herself as a 'straight-A student' but lamented that 'no one fancied her'. Host Rhod Gilbert quizzed her about love letters she sent to a classmate, to which she replied: 'Well, you call them love letters. I loved Prince and [my friend] loved Prince. So we used to write these letters to each other with all Prince lyrics.'
Recently, the newsreader faced criticism from fans after sharing a post-run selfie on Twitter. While many praised her fresh-faced appearance, others scolded her for smoking. One follower wrote: 'Please give up the cigarettes,' while another asked: 'I'm curious (not judging you) how many cigarettes do you smoke a day?'
The backlash followed pictures of Munchetty and co-host Charlie Stayt smoking during a break in Manchester. Despite the comments, Munchetty's post, captioned 'Didn't want to. Did it. It's done. #run. Happy Friday,' received widespread support from her 278,000 followers.
