Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NAGA Munchetty appeared ready for business as usual on TV today - but her expressions were telling just hours after allegations of bullying emerged, a body language expert has said. The BBC Breakfast host, 50, appeared on air this morning after allegations of bullying relating to her treatment of junior colleagues.

She also reportedly accused a junior staffer of stealing - with bosses reprimanding the star for her behaviour. Her return to the studio shows a desire to continue business as usual, despite the scandal surrounding the show. During this morning's broadcast, she and Charlie Stayt hosted a segment on being 'appropriate at work', discussing whether shorts are appropriate workwear in hot weather. 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." While at the start she sits with one elbow on the back of the sofa in a "confident-looking splay" she then leans back in her seat and dons a more "authoritative expression". 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". BBC star Naga Munchetty hauled in by bosses over allegations she BULLIED a junior staffer and 'made an off-air sex jibe' Charlie meanwhile sucks his lips inwards in an expression of seriousness according to Judi, before employing some "serious-looking head batons for emphasis". Earlier this morning, Naga was seen arriving through the back door of the BBC studio, in a move Judi describes as "low on drama with clearly no desire to showboat or perform any active body language rituals of denial for the cameras." 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. Breakfast's editor Richard Frediani has also taken leave from the show amid separate bullying claims.

Goodnight Sweetheart fans will finally discover what happened to Gary Sparrow after show's controversial axe
The fate of its return lies solely in the hands of its fans and supporters the answer Goodnight Sweetheart fans will finally discover what happened to Gary Sparrow after show's controversial axe Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GOODNIGHT Sweetheart fans will finally get the answers they have been searching for thanks to a brand new project in the works. Viewers of the programme will learn the fate of Gary Sparrow after many questions were left unanswered following the show's controversial axing by the BBC. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Goodnight Sweetheart is being revived Credit: BBC 3 The story of Gary Sparrow will continue in a new book Credit: BBC The programme, starring Nicholas Lyndhurst of Only Fools and Horses fame, originally ran from 1993 until 1999. Fans were left over-the-moon when it made a one-off comeback in 2016 with many who worked on the show hoping that it paved the way for another full-length series but the BBC failed to commission it for anything else. Now, the show's writing duo, Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, have teamed up to pen a new novel to explore what happened to Gary after the end of the TV programme. But the pair have already been forced to call upon fans help. The writers are aiming to raise £30,000 via a crowd-funding site in order to bring the book to life. At the time of publication, this petition had already amassed a whopping £11,500 in donations from 211 supporters. The book will only be published if the fund manages to reach the target amount. Teasing what is to come in the novel, a synopsis reads: "The new book will begin a little before the events of the 2016 televised story, Many Happy Returns, because though Gary's life since the end of the war has been mundane, in the spring of 1962, things are starting to heat up when Marilyn Monroe sings at President Kennedy's birthday party in that skin-tight dress. "When Gary first met Phoebe, he told her the girl he left behind in L.A. went by the name of Marilyn Monroe. "It was just his little private joke. It had never occurred to him that he would be living in the past, married to Phoebe when Marilyn became an international sex symbol in the 1950s. The Nineties sitcom Goodnight Sweetheart returned for a one-off special set in 1962 "For years, every time Phoebe's seen Marilyn on the silver screen, her insecurities have overwhelmed her. "What if Gary were to go back to Hollywood to regain the love of his life? "That is, until Marilyn's shock death at the age of 36, which brings all of Phoebe's old feelings back to the surface." Speaking of their decision to pen a new book and their hopes for its publication, authors Laurence and Maurice said: "Of all the shows we have ever written, Goodnight Sweetheart has the biggest and most devoted fanbase. "We were thrilled at the audience response to the 2016 special. Like our fans, we want to know what happened next to Gary Sparrow and his two families. "And now, Idiot Box [publishers] are giving us and you the chance to find out!" The TV show's premise followed Gary Sparrow as he lived a double life being able to time-hop between 1990s London and the Second World War in the 1940s.

Ex-soldier who brutally murdered mum with meat cleaver before dismembering her body could be FREED early from jail
A SOLDIER who brutally murdered a young mother with a meat cleaver could soon be freed from prison. Killer Stephen Wynne murdered 27-year-old mum-of-three Chantel Taylor by striking her in the neck and then dismembering her body with a saw. Advertisement 3 Killer Stephen Wynne murdered 27-year-old mum-of-three Chantel Taylor Credit: Merseyside Police 3 Chantal Taylor, 27, mum of three, pictured smiling Credit: BBC 3 Ms Taylor's mother, Jean Taylor, giving an interview on ITV News Credit: ITV Wynne, who was 26 at the time of the murder in 2004, later stashed Chantel's remains in her own loft before moving them a few days later into a nearby woods and the local tip. Her body was never discovered, meaning her family were forced to hold a funeral with just traces of her DNA from the murder scene in Birkenhead. Now the Sun Online can reveal Wynne, who was sentenced to life in prison in 2006 after pleading guilty to murder, is set to appear before the Parole Board in two weeks. His will 'horrify' Chantel's family, according to one MP. Advertisement read more on UK news Esther McVey who has been supporting the family said: "In this case life should mean life." Wynne was originally sentenced to life with a minimum term of 21 years was reduced to 18 on appeal. In 2023 he won the right to be moved to an open prison after a judge dismissed an objection by the then Deputy Prime Minister, Dominic Raab. A senior judge ruled in Wynne's favour, concluding that the Government had provided "no good reason" for rejecting the board's recommendation. Advertisement Most read in The Sun Live Blog Exclusive Ms Taylor's mother, Jean Taylor, has previously told of the 'deep distress and devastation' felt by her family over the murder. Earlier this year Mrs Taylor travelled to London to present a petition to Prime Minister They say current rules known as Helen's Law, in memory of Helen McCourt, whereby a killer who refuses to disclose the location of their victim's remains are barred from being granted parole, has a "significant limitation". Chantel's family say Helen's law allows offenders who falsely claimed to reveal the location of concealed body parts to 'avoid the full accountability they deserve during parole hearings.' Advertisement A Parole Board spokesperson said: "An oral hearing has been listed for the parole review of Stephen Wynne and is scheduled to take place in June 2025. "Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community. 'A panel will carefully examine a huge range of evidence, including details of the original crime, and any evidence of behaviour change, as well as explore the harm done and impact the crime has had on the victims. 'Members read and digest hundreds of pages of evidence and reports in the lead up to an oral hearing. Advertisement 'Evidence from witnesses including probation officers, psychiatrists and psychologists, officials supervising the offender in prison as well as victim personal statements are then given at the hearing. 'The prisoner and witnesses are then questioned at length during the hearing which often lasts a full day or more. 'Parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority.'
