By BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty apologises for liking Tweets “offensive in nature” to British flag
BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty, 46, has taken to Twitter to apologise for liking several Tweets which were “offensive in nature about the use of the British flag”.
Posting to her 245,000 followers, the host clarified how these were not representative of her views or those of the BBC.
I 'liked' tweets today that were offensive in nature about the use of the British flag as a backdrop in a government interview this morning.
I have since removed these 'likes'.
This do not represent the views of me or the BBC.
I apologise for any offence taken.

This apology comes after a segment on BBC Breakfast yesterday morning with the Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick.
As he spoke to the two presenters, Naga Munchetty and her co-host Charlie Stayt, behind him was a portrait of Queen Elizabeth and the Union Jack flag.
Stayt commented on the size of the flag, saying: “I think your flag is not up to standard size government interview measurements.
“I think it’s just a little small, but that’s your department, really. Just a thought.”
Naga was then seen giggling at the quip, and commented about the picture of the Queen.
She said: “The picture of the Queen there as well though, in the Westminster office I assume.”
