BBC Breakfast stars Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt often have friendly banter while hosting the popular breakfast show, and Friday morning was no different after Naga teased Charlie following a news segment about a fly infestation.

After a report revealed that a town in Wales had been struggling with a huge fly infestation, with pubs no longer serving food after being overrun with the insects, Charlie said: "It's not nice, is it? I have raisins in my porridge. Rather put me off the whole thing."
