BBC Breakfast\u2019s Naga Munchetty has secured another huge TV gig. Although she is best known for hosting the early morning magazine show, she has branched, most recently hosting Have I Got News For You.<\/p>\n

Now it has been announced that she’ll appear as a guest on Would I Lie to You’s Christmas special. The show’s official social media accounts teased her appearance in the festive episode to fans.<\/p>\n

The post reads: “Christmas is coming early… it’s the WILTY festive special THIS FRIDAY, 22nd December at 8pm on @BBCOne. Spread the word!” In the photo accompanying the post, Naga could be seen posing with host Rob Brydon and panellists Lee Mack, Victoria Coren Mitchell, Melvin Hayes and David Mitchell.<\/p>\n

Naga is usually seen on the famous red BBC Breakfast sofa alongside Charlie Stayt from Thursdays to Saturdays each week. Following her presenting stint on Have I Got News For You she found herself on the receiving end of a cruel troll who took umbrage at one of her jokes about Boris Johnson.<\/p>\n

In the clip that irked them, Naga made a quip about The former Prime Minister’s evidence at the Covid enquiry that she would never get away with in her day job. She referenced his remark: “Abusive messages are part of the creative process.”<\/p>\n

Responding to a post of the clip, where the presenter also described the former Prime Minister as a \u201ct*****\u201d, the troll wrote: \u201cIt is well known inside and outside of the media circuit that @TVNaga01 is a total c**t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rather than find the accusation offensive, the star clapped back: \u201cI must ask my (obviously very few) friends to stop talking to strangers…\u201d<\/p>\n

Her humorous response drew support from Carol Vorderman who commented: “Ah, the old misogynists are out in force…. again… gets dull after a while doesn’t it? Sending best.”<\/p>\n

The trolling came just days after a 2020 interview resurfaced in which she admitted that not everyone likes her.<\/p>\n
