BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty couldn't hide her reaction to a cheeky comment made by co-host Ben Thompson on today's show (December 21).

While presenting this morning's programme, Naga and Ben were reflecting on a feature about Wham's song Last Christmas hitting the Christmas number one spot in 2024 - 40 years after its original release.

The conversation soon shifted from the iconic holiday song to the likelihood of snow for Christmas. "I hate to burst someone's bubble, but no white Christmas this year," Naga said sadly, with Ben chiming in: "No snowball fights." It was then that Ben decided to take a cheeky swipe at his co-star, suggesting she would be formidable opponent in a snowball fight, reports the Express. "I think you would be really vicious in a snowball fight," he said, which prompted Naga to swiftly scrunch her face turn her back on him. "I don't know what you mean," she retorted as they both erupted into laughter.

She once again repeated the phrase "I don't know what you mean," with an exaggerated tone, quickly introducing the weather segment while Ben playfully mimed a snowball throw behind her.
