But your pompous lectures on how to do interviews are bloody funny, I’ll give you that.”Dan quickly retaliated with the famous GIF of Piers storming out of the Good Morning Britain studio, telling him: “You left GMB because one of your colleagues called you out.

Naga Munchetty had an honest response for a fan who called her out on Twitter after the presenter suffered a time blunder.The BBC star, 47, might famed for anchoring BBC Breakfast from Thursday to Saturday on BBC One, but she's a lady of many talents.Away from the TV screen, Naga fronts her own radio show Mondays to Wednesdays on 5 Live, where she speaks to her listeners about current affairs.READ MORE: Naga Munchetty accidentally tells BBC viewers Boris Johnson is 'in prison' in epic gaffeHowever, it appears she suffered an awkward time-related blunder on Monday's show (June 20) which involved her confusing the morning with the afternoon - and it definitely didn't go unnoticed with listeners. We've all fallen victim to getting the time wrong, and especially on a Monday, but unfortunately for Naga her time-telling errors go out to thousands of people across the country.Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "The time is 12.20, good morning #WorstOneYet".But Naga confessed she's made worse mistakes during her broadcasting career before thanking him for listening.She replied: "No - there has been worse.

BBC Breakfast weather presenter Carol Kirkwood has been praised by her co-stars after her recent bulletin was interrupted by loud noise.The 60-year-old star was on hand to bring the latest forecast on Tuesday (June 21) morning.She presented her latest weather segment from the roof of BBC studios in London.However, things didn't go to plan for Carol as loud building work disrupted her while she was live on air.Jon Kay and Sally Nugent were in the studio and congratulated Carol for making it through the segment without hesitating.Sally said: "Carol, well done for handling all of that noise. We've been reassured that wasn't actually a fire alarm.

Channel 5 News reporter Dan Walker dodged a question about his salary in a new interview.The former BBC Breakfast star suggested that speculation he was receiving £1.5million for his news role was “so wrong”.Dan, 45, was asked what “first attracted him to the £1.5 million a year news reading gig at Channel 5?”At this, the presenter laughed and insisted: “I’ll answer anything, except about money. “It really makes me laugh how you guys love to speculate and you always get it so wrong.”Asked if he was earning even more, he replied: “Nooo! Ha ha ha! No!”READ MORE: Elton John ‘booed by crowd’ at farewell tour after Newcastle quipDan went on to explain: “This should never be about money. Especially when people are struggling.

BBC Breakfast was hit with an awkward technical blunder during the latest instalment of the morning show.Jon Kay and Sally Nugent were back on the red sofa on Monday (June 20) to wake up the nation with the latest headlines.Weather presenter Carol Kirkwood was on hand to offer the latest forecast but one of her bulletins was interrupted with a sound gaffe.As she spoke to viewers about what they can expect from the day ahead, Carol's microphone was hit by an echo which repeated everything she said.Noticing the error, Carol ended the segment: "I'll have more throughout the programme, without the echo".It comes after BBC star Naga Manchetty sparked concern for Carol as she presented the weather live at Ascot Ladies' Day last week.Naga didn't hesitate to raise her concerns for her co-star pal as Carol basked in the British sunshine.Carol summed up her report by saying: "I'm going to leave you with this beautiful view. Look at the sky - it's blue, it's sunny, and it's lovely."Naga then asked her: "It's slightly hazy, isn't it, Carol? It looks...

Dan Walker's transition into life at Channel 5 seems to have gone smoothly, there has allegedly been some "disruption" behind the scenes at his old BBC Breakfast job.One BBC source has now confirmed to Daily Star that things are rather hectic behind-the-scenes of the morning programme, which is currently helmed by Sally Nugent, Jon Kay, Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.Not only is there tension on set due to the "hasty" decision by BBC bosses to replace Dan's image with Jon Kay's for the show's official social media accounts, but a major overhaul is being planned at the same time.Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, a BBC source said: "There's disruption behind the scenes as BBC Breakfast is getting a new set in the next few months."The show is set to emulate the studio of popular US talk shows, with a more dynamic background and perhaps swapping out the low coffee table for a higher desk.They added: "It will be the first time they've changed it since they moved to Salford in 2012, so all in all everything will look very different in the coming months."Apparently they want it to look a bit more like a US breakfast show and might have windows and people walking past."But that isn't all, as there is more tension than just a set reshuffle behind the cameras.In front of the camera, Jon Kay has stepped almost seamlessly into Dan's old seat on the red sofa - but not everyone is happy about it.The BBC hasn't yet confirmed who will take over Dan's role in an official capacity, and some staff still vying for the promotion have been left feeling "awkward" that Jon appears to be the "heir apparent".Our source told us: "Much as everyone thinks Jon Kay is the heir apparent for Dan's job, there has been some uneasiness that the

Dan Walker could be replaced on BBC Breakfast by his new Channel 5 co-star Julian Druker.Dan left the BBC for good last month and made the move to 5 News, which he presents alongside Claudia-Liza Vanderpuije. Since then, the BBC have been considering various candidates to take over from him.One of which is Channel 5 news reporter Julian Druker, a BBC source confirmed exclusively to Daily Star - who Dan appeared alongside just last week (June 10).Julian was outside London's High Court to discuss the plans to send refugees to Rwanda, which subsequently failed to go ahead on Tuesday (June 14).Dan asked Julian: "Good evening, what’s been happening?"Later, the clip cut to Dan in the studio as he wondered: "And Julian, there’s been other opposition to the plans?"Julian was all professionalism as he responded: "Yes, Labour leader Keir Starmer today describing it as a 'chaotic diversion', said it hasn’t been thought through, he says ministers here should get around the table with ministers in France…"But our BBC source has claimed that Julian could be eyeing up Dan's old job with its eye-watering £100,000 salary for a three day week.They told Daily Star that while BBC star Jon Kay looks to be the frontrunner, other names are still in the mix."Jon Kay is very popular in the newsroom, but the process to replace Dan is still ongoing with a few weeks left apparently.

BBC Breakfast viewers have slammed Naga Munchetty after her "awkward" exchange with a reporter live on air. The TV presenter and her co-host Charlie Stayt could be seen encouraging Andrew Plant to strip down and go for a swim.

Carol Kirkwood, 60. told her 235,600 followers that she was stepping away from her usual BBC Breakfast position for a "special reason".The news comes after the weather presenter announced live on BBC Breakfast at the end of last month that she is engaged to be married.Taking to Twitter, Carol addressed her absence with her 235,000 followers.The weather presenter wrote: "I am (obviously!) not at work today… but am heading out to see something rather special!" she announced with a winking emoji."Will share with you later.Take care xxx."@robin_knowles wrote back: "Come on Carol spill, what's happening?

Can't wait.Sounds like a mirror as you are very special."Carol's next tweet made it clear that she hadn't set off for a special destination yet, as she was doing something a little more mundane before leaving."You can take the girl out of the country…." she joked, before disclosing: "Two loads of washing done and out on the line!!!"Meanwhile she also posted a photo a few days earlier of herself reading a copy of her latest novel, The Hotel On The Riviera.The tagline on the front cover teases: "It's the perfect place to hide a secret".Carol recently revealed that she is preparing to tie the knot with her partner.However she has not publicly announced his identity or even his first name so far.Co-star Sally Nugent outed Carol's new relationship status live on air earlier in the year, teasing: "I'm a little bit concerned about you this morning."I don't know how you're managing to stand up with that giant rock on your left hand."Playing things down, she thanked her colleague and shyly agreed: "It is rather nice.

BBC presenter has kept a relatively low profile over the years.Avoiding social media, he has chosen to keep most of his personal life private, only opting to let BBC Breakfast viewers and co-presenter Naga Munchetty know some insights on his family life.He has both an impressive career and home life, finding success on and off the camera.Despite rumours over the years that the two may have split, it seems that Charlie and his wife remain happily married with nearly 30 years under their belts and having children together.Charlie married Anne Francis Brickell in 1995, with the pair still husband and wife to this day.It seems as though their relationship is still going strong after 27 years of marriage.Little is known about his wife, but it is reported that she is a manager at a global corporation.Charlie and Anne have two children together, with the family of four living together in London.His two children are Phoebe Senara, 24, and Jake Hamilton, 21, though they similarly keep away from the cameras.Over the years, there were rumours that Charlie and his former co-host Susanna Reid were dating.However, the allegations turned appeared to be baseless, as neither presenters commented on the situation.Instead, it seems the two have a close friendship, with Susanna recently revealing he caused her addiction to candles.During a conversation on Good Morning Britain, she admitted that she loves to “splurge” on them, adding: “I cannot get enough of candles.“I’ve got an addiction after BBC Breakfast presenter Charlie Stayt bought me one.”Anne Francis Brickell’s net worth remains unknown, but according to Idolnetworth.com, Charlie is worth an estimated $2million (£1.65 million).According to the BBC salary report, Charlie earns a
