BBC Breakfast Hosts Naga Munchetty Charlie Stayt Replaced Amid Bullying Investigation

News summary

BBC Breakfast regular hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt were notably absent from the Thursday, September 25, 2025 broadcast, with stand-in presenters Sarah Campbell and Ben Thompson taking over without explanation. Their absence sparked viewer confusion and speculation on social media, with fans questioning if the pair had been removed from the show. Both Munchetty and Stayt are currently under review amid bullying allegations behind the scenes, which has contributed to tensions, especially following a separate investigation that cleared the show's editor, Richard Frediani, who has received backing from BBC management. Despite the controversy, Charlie Stayt is expected to return to the show the following day, with Naga Munchetty returning the week after. Neither Munchetty nor Stayt have publicly addressed their absence or the ongoing investigations. The situation highlights internal challenges at BBC Breakfast, a program where Munchetty and Stayt have been prominent figures for over a decade, alongside the usual hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent.
