BBC Breakfast hosts Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty had a heated exchange about butterflies while discussing a charity’s call for volunteers.
Live on air, BBC Breakfast hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt disagreed about butterflies.
On the morning of Friday, July 12, seated on the iconic red sofa, they discussed the news about The Big Butterfly Count initiative, which aims to track the UK’s butterfly population.
Organized by the charity Butterfly Conservation, the initiative encourages volunteers to spend 15 minutes observing local butterfly populations in outdoor spaces. This study aims to gain insights into the demographics of UK butterflies.
The ecological concern driving the count includes growing reports of butterflies migrating northward, which researchers attribute to climate change caused by global warming.
Charlie appeared enthusiastic about the idea, remarking: “There could be worse things to do for 15 minutes than just stare at a butterfly. I think it would be quite relaxing and quite nice.”
However, his co-host had a different perspective and quipped: “You’re not supposed to stare at just the one.”, according to the Express.
Undeterred, he responded: “You could just do that anywhere to feel good. You could do the survey, that sounds great, but just take a moment to look a butterfly doing its business. It would be nice wouldn’t it.”
Naga wasn’t convinced and countered: “I don’t think you should go around scaring butterflies personally, staring and making them feel uncomfortable.”
Even weather presenter Carol Kirkwood was drawn into the debate admitting: “I think it is a relaxing thing to do. It’s like fish just swimming in a tank for an example.”
BBC Breakfast viewers witnessed an awkward moment during the Thursday (July 11) broadcast when weather presenter Carol humorously dismissed co-host Naga Munchetty on-air after a prolonged discussion.
During a discussion about tightrope walker Jaan Roose with her co-presenter Charlie, seated on their iconic red sofa, things reached an awkward climax.
Explaining the impressive feat to their audience, Charlie described, Charlie detailed, “No one has done this before. Traveling 3.6km across a 2cm wide rope slacklining is what they call it took three hours.”
When transitioning to Carol for the day’s forecast, playful Naga teased the veteran broadcaster, saying, “Carol’s going to try it next, when the weather improves! Hello.”
Chuckling at the banter, Carol responded: “Not a chance! Even just watching it gives me the heebie-jeebies Naga. Good morning everybody!”
After the frosty moment passed, Carol smoothly redirected the conversation, proceeding with the anticipated weather update.
