‘I couldn’t take it anymore’: BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty shows off the results of her DIY haircut as she admits ‘it’s OK, a bit messy maybe’
BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty revealed her DIY haircut to viewers on Thursday after saying she ‘couldn’t take it anymore.’
Naga, 45, showed pictures which proved her newly cropped look wasn’t the work of a hairdresser and a breach of lockdown rules.
The presenter said she took the scissors to her own hair because the government has said hairdressers will not be opening before July.

Co-host Charlie Stayt, 57, revealed he’d also been trimming his own hair, but viewers were amazed that immaculate Naga’s new ‘do was all her own work.
Pics were posted on Twitter and Instagram and were also aired on the programme as she explained her decision.
Naga said: ‘I couldn’t take it any more, I actually cut all my hair. My make-up friends and hairdressing friends said “what are you doing?” but I couldn’t take it.
That’s the spirit: Naga has said she had been relying on a strong wax to hold her hair in place but said that she had to take matters into her own hands as salons won’t open before July
Getting carried away: Naga tweeted that she had only meant to cut the sides of her hair but ended up doing the whole thing

The presenter has been hailed for her sharp dressing but last month quickly shut down a critic.
One viewer took exception to a pair of heels she was wearing.
‘I’m not known for my own sartorial elegance but why would anyone like Naga Munchetty feel the need to wear high-heeled shoes like these on a BBC TV breakfast news programme? Discuss…’ he posted.
She swiftly replied with the perfect response: ‘Because I want to.’
Who knew there was so much? She shared a picture of all the hair she had cut off which was piled up in the sink
