Body language expert Judi James suggested Naga looked "stoic, professional, and maybe ironic" throughout the segment.
Both her body language and her tone gave an air of authority and confidence.
Judi said: "Her start comment of 'some people' sounds weighted, with tonal emphasis on the word 'some' and she uses a cut-off ritual with her hand while using very direct eye contact on Charlie, who purses his lips and looks back."

She continues to hold this expression as Naga concludes: "It depends on your workplace dress code and the nature of your job."
As the focus shifts to Charlie to continue the 'what is appropriate in the workplace' discussion, Naga looks into the camera with an "asymmetric, wry-looking smile".

Charlie meanwhile sucks his lips inwards in an expression of seriousness according to Judi, before employing some "serious-looking head batons for emphasis".

She was wearing a royal blue cat suit that Judi says is a "stylish, confident and professional choice".
Throughout the show she maintained this professionalism, visually addressing the cameras.
Judi said: "Naga's very direct visual address of the cameras hasn't changed or diluted, which suggests a very direct and open relationship with the viewers."
This is mirrored by her body language which also suggests openness.
However, Judi suggested that there were some signs of the pressure Naga is facing amidst the allegations as she sandwiched her left hand between her crossed legs, or fiddled with an earring or the neckline of her jumpsuit.
Her relationship with Charlie had signs of "harmony" and appeared "friendly".
Judi said: "After the 7:30 news ended the camera caught them at a distance and it was Naga budging up closer and throwing him a warm smile as they prepared for the next segment."
After the show finished, the pair were seen enjoying a cigarette break together outside the studio.
Despite the ironic tone of the segment, Naga has not yet addressed the allegations made against her.

BBC Breakfast likened to ‘the Hunger Games' amid toxicity claims and Naga Munchetty bullying row
THE Sun's exposé on toxic BBC Breakfast has ripped a chasm through the show — with staff likening the workplace to Hunger Games. We told this week how editor 4 Breakfast co-host Naga Munchetty looked tense as she smoked a cigarette before today's show Credit: Zenpix 4 Viewers noticed Naga and co-host, Charlie Stayt, failed to browse the day's newspapers, as is customary Credit: Zenpix 4 A source said: 'Breakfast is no longer just divided, it's been ripped apart' Credit: BBC Crew are trapped in the middle as the scandal has triggered stories from opposing sides. Staff are terrified about what is going to come out in case they are caught in the crossfire. A source said: 'Breakfast is no longer just divided, it's been ripped apart. "Some workers back Frediani's tougher, more traditional journalistic approach and think the 'softies' need thicker skin. READ MORE ON BREAKFAST FEUD 'Others find him to be a bully and have welcomed the investigation into his behaviour. That already created two camps on the show. But the revelations about Naga have thrown a new twist on the scandal. 'Some find her a passionate advocate of people behind the scenes, while others find her as difficult as Fredi. 'This explosive mix has led to a deluge of revelations from both sides, creating a huge headache for the BBC as it scrambles to mop up the mess. It's everyone for themselves like the Hunger Games.'

Her supporters believe she is at the 'end of her tether' with the fractious working environment. They add: 'Naga finds the whole situation frustrating, particularly with Fredi. 'She is passionate about speaking up if she believes something is wrong, has spoken to people who are unhappy and is always trying to help others behind the scenes.' However, another insider has shared opinion that Frediani's tough leadership may be a response to Naga's behaviour, not the cause of the problem. The source said: 'Managing Naga is a full-time job. She makes it incredibly hard to do the job and when Fredi tries to enforce boundaries and run a tight ship, he gets accused of being draconian. 'People are too scared to challenge her, because of who she is.' Among the divide are those who are just trying to uphold the BBC's standards on the show. A separate source said: 'The fact remains that bad behaviour is bad behaviour and no one — be it bosses, talent, crew — should be above reproach.' BBC said: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously.'
