Naga Munchetty kept her distance from her BBC Breakfast co-star Charlie Stayt and show editor as she left the studios in Manchester amid a rumoured feud and bulling row. 

The 50-year-old and Charlie – who present the show every Thursday to Saturday – looked downcast as they left work on Thursday.

The journalist opted for black knee high socks and a pair of black trainers.  

She completed the look with a black handbag. 

Meanwhile Charlie, 62, looked dapper in a white shirt, black trousers and matching trousers, with a rucksack on his back.

Richard Frediani was seen elsewhere outside of the studios, after The Mail revealed an ugly row between him and Naga 

The TV star wore glᴀsses pushed back in his hair and also held a white mug in his hand. 

Meanwhile Richard Frediani was seen elsewhere outside of the studios, after ᴅᴇᴀᴅline alleged that the editor was the subject of at least two misconduct complaints.

The Mail have since revealed tensions between him and Naga. 

Some staff have shared their unhappiness with the show’s editor, who has been accused by insiders of being on occasion ‘aggressive’ and ‘belittling’ towards his underlings. 

Sources on the show say that Naga has expressed uneasiness about his behaviour to bosses at the corporation. 

An insider says that Naga is ‘quite open’ about her ill-feeling towards Frediani, while another says that she has an ‘uneasy relationship’ with him.  

The Mail can reveal that displeasure is intensifying at the BBC’s northern base in Salford, where staff have watched Frediani’s rise – from Breakfast boss to arguably the most powerful BBC editor outside London.

One said ‘You have to wonder what on Earth is going on.

‘The BBC claims to be this no-nonsense, woke, kind place – yet Fredi has been able to keep climbing the ladder. 

‘HR and his bosses are aware of [past] bullying claims against him.

‘He’s still allowed to hire, as we saw with Nina [Warhurst, who has just been appointed a regular presenter] this week, and presumably fire. 

‘He has so much power, it doesn’t feel right at all.’

Richard became editor of the flagship news programme in 2019.

Meanwhile Naga has been part of the BBC Breakfast team since 2014 and Charlie has been on the programme since 2006.
