Naga Munchetty got her fans talking on Twitter on Sunday after she posed a question. The BBC Breakfast co-host asked her followers if they felt the same way she did.

The star revealed that she feels "slightly scared" when the weather is stormy, writing: "Anyone else slightly scared in this stormy weather?"

Not everyone agreed, with one fan jokingly responding: "Living in the Inner Hebrides, I don't really worry until I see sheep flying past the window!"

A second wrote: "Leaving Saint Malo this morning… Did I miss the rain?" Others were on the same page, however, with one writing: "Yes me," and another chiming in: "Don't like it at all… "

At the beginning of her career when she was a print journalist, Naga confessed she was once brought to tears after a senior colleague dismissed her work. "I was told I was [expletive] useless," she told Radio Times.

"I did go home many a day in tears, but equally, I learnt not to make mistakes, that mistakes weren't acceptable.

The star is a much-loved journalist

"That fear of making a mistake meant that you did your research twice as well, and to the best of your ability." Naga soon turned to broadcasting, and is now one of the main presenters on BBC Breakfast.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star was told to "toughen up" when she first expressed an interest in broadcast journalism, however.

"I remember when I first decided I wanted to explore being on air, I was told, 'You are quite sensitive,'" she added. "'You do take criticism quite hard and you dwell on things. You need to toughen up.' And I did."
