BBC Breakfast fans witnessed an amusing on-air mix-up between Naga Munchetty and Scots weather presenter Carol Kirkwood , when Carol seemed to forget Naga's name during a live broadcast . Naga was hosting on Thursday alongside Ben Thompson , who was standing in for Charlie Stayt, when she joked that Carol was of "no importance" to her following her latest forecast, reports the Mirror . As she closed her weather segment, Carol appeared to have stumbled into her next lines as she said: "Ben and...," before finally recalling and adding "Naga! " Naga responded with delight: "Oh you remembered. Well done."

" Then Naga turned to Ben and poked fun at herself: "She's of no importance Ben, she's none, she's just the showgirl." Making another quip, Naga suggested: "Write it on your hand next time Carol. Write it on your hand it always helps," with Carol replying: "If only my eyesight was better I could write it on the screen in front of me." Ever quick with a joke, Naga said: "I thought you were going to say if only you can write," while Ben added his piece: "We will have to keep you two apart." Earlier this year, Naga shared some details about her early bird routine leading up to the BBC Breakfast show. She is up early and sets her alarm for 3.45am to get to the BBC studios by 4.50am. Alongside hosting BBC Breakfast with Charlie Thursdays to Saturdays, Naga presents for BBC Radio 5 Live during early weekdays. And even on occasions when she can afford a lie-in, the host usually still gets up earlier than most. Speaking to The Sunday Times Magazine, she said: "'Three days a week I get up stupidly early. My first alarm is at 3.45 and I'm in the BBC Breakfast studio by 4.50. On radio days I wake up naturally at 5.45, but I'm a terrible prevaricator." "As a kid, my mum would have to physically pull me from my bed. My first thought is always: how long can I stay here before I have to drag my arse to the gym? ". Join the Daily Record's

"I haven't worn anything in bed since I was about 16. There's something very luxurious and freeing about being naked and having clean sheets around you," she explained. Naga added: "Monday to Wednesday I whack my dressing gown on, check the news sites and do some life admin before 45 minutes of running or weights. By 7.15 I'm home and in the shower."
