Naga Munchetty is always perfectly presented when she hosts BBC Breakfast.

Despite the early start, the 47-year-old is immaculate on the morning show – so her latest confession has come as a surprise to fans.

Naga recently shared a new selfie with her followers on Instagram, along with a candid admission.

She wrote: "First outdoor run of 2023. Ooh lovely and refreshing. (Yes, I slept in my make-up) [face palm emoji]."

Fans were quick to comment on the post – and were full of compliments for the news host.

"Your 'slept in make-up' looks better than my 'fresh on make-up," one told Naga. "With or without the make-up… your eyes have it," a second shared.

A third wrote: "Good work. Slept in your make up? you rock star!" And a fourth joked: "Please tell me what makeup! I wake up looking like Uncle Fester!"

It comes after Naga spoke out about receiving criticism from viewers about her outfits on BBC Breakfast – far more than her co-star Charlie Stayt.

"I get more comments than Charlie but I think also that is because men just wear suits, so there isn't really too much to object to," she told the Radio Times.

"Whereas I don't wear suits and buy my own clothes. So inevitably people think they can comment on what I wear."

This isn't the first time that Naga has addressed negative comments about her wardrobe. Back in July last year, she responded to a viewer who tweeted about a brown silk dress she was wearing. They wrote: "That reminds me @TVNaga01, I must put the black bin bags out today [winking emoji]," prompting Naga to respond: "That's funny x."

She also addressed the criticism in a previous interview with the Daily Mirror. "I'm on telly, I'm in your home, so if you want to criticise me, fine - but I'm not there to be abused," she said.
