Naga Munchetty
Naga began her career as a financial journalist before switching to television and regularly appearing on BBC World News.
“I’m so happy to be joining such a successful, popular programme,” Naga said of the move. “It’s a real privilege to be on a team which is a big part of the morning routine for millions of viewers in the UK. I’m thrilled that I’ll have my own seat on that famous red sofa.”
Alongside her presenting and journalism commitments, Naga is a keen golfer, ran the London Marathon last year and has also won ‘Celebrity Mastermind’.
BBC Breakfast Editor Adam Bullimore said: “I’m really delighted Naga is joining the programme full time. She’s already a familiar face to our viewers and very popular with the team.
“She has bags of journalistic experience and personality and is a fantastic addition to our regular team of presenters.”
