Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt regularly wake up the nation with the latest news headlines on BBC Breakfast.
While the pair are undoubtedly a winning duo when it comes to their on-screen partnership, how close are they off-screen?
BBC Breakfast viewers have often remarked on the on-screen dynamic between the pair, with many viewers praising their banter and others commenting on their "spikey relationship".
The presenters began hosting the show together in 2014 when Naga became a main fixture on the show. While the presenters are clearly good friends having been snapped enjoying a post-work pint at a pub in Manchester recently, viewers have pointed out some awkward moments on the sofa over the years.
Charlie Stayt and Naga Muchetty's awkward on-screen moments
In 2022, the pair engaged in a lively debate over pies during a segment about the World Scotch Pie Championships.
As Charlie began to list the different types of foods, Naga tried to interject but was told to "hold on" by her co-host.
Naga then said: "You can't just sit here and read a list and not discuss the list."

More recently, the pair shared a slightly tense exchange while chatting to weather presenter Carol Kirkwood over a video link. During a show that aired in March, Carol was giving the weather report from The Butterfly House at Blenheim Palace when Charlie asked her to summon the butterflies with a call.

Charlie then added: "It didn't work did it?" while Naga agreed: "You're not very popular with the butterflies."
"Gee, thanks Naga," Carol joked, prompting the journalist to thank her colleague for the weather update. "It's been really fascinating, actually," said Naga. "We've learnt a lot this morning."

Naga looked a little unimpressed but carried on with the show. Watch the moment in the video below.
While one viewer claimed the pair were "always beefing" on the show, others praised their on-screen chemistry. One person tweeted: "Great banter between Naga and Charlie," while another added: "Charlie and Naga are too much! They're like brother and sister."
