BBC's Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt let their hair down after work with a cheeky pint

Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt let their hair down after an early shift at BBC Breakfast by indulging in a cheeky pint at the weekend. 

The colleagues enjoyed a well-deserved screen break together in Manchester and looked worlds away from their newsroom personas.

Charlie was also seen drinking beer during the sunny but chilly afternoon in the city as they lit up while they looked relaxed chatting.

They kept warm in big coats as the cold kept them on their toes.

Naga wrapped up in a black North Face jacket with knee-high boots while Charlie went for trendy khaki as they both smoked outside the venue.

Charlie will say the drinks should have been on Naga after she couldn't resist hitting him around the head with an inflatable fish on Friday.

They enjoyed a light-hearted moment on air, even if it didn't look like her co-host was quite so pleased.

The blow-up haddock was in the studio as Grimsby prepared for their FA Cup game at Brighton on Sunday.

The pair were certainly entitled to let their hair down after helping raise money on Friday.

But Comic Relief viewers believe there are sure to be some Ofcom complaints about a joke Naga read out during the show.

The annual telethon returned to our screens on Friday evening and viewers witnessed broadcasters read out some rather cringy jokes from a card.

Naga, Piers Morgan, Susanna Reid and Krishnan Guru-Murthy were all tasked with telling them.

At one point, Piers read out: "The other day I bought a thesaurus but when I got home and opened it all the pages were blank...I have no words to describe how angry I am."

BBC Breakfast's Naga got involved and told a classic joke.

"I went to the zoo the other day, there was only one dog in it. It was a Shih Tzu," she said.

Co-star Charlie Stayt immediately got it but Naga appeared to not understand.

After telling Charlie she didn't get it, she finally laughed and repeated the word "Shih Tzu," which sounded like something else.

Viewers immediately warned action could be forthcoming!

"Oop a kind of swear word before 9pm, Ofcom is gonna have a field day with complaints lmao," one user joked.

Another loved the joke and said: "Naga not getting the shih tzu joke!"

Fans were delighted to see Naga back on our screens on Friday after the 47-year-old was absent the day before.

But many were left giggling about a Cheltenham chat between the TV presenters.

Naga, who has has presented BBC Breakfast since 2014, said: "When you're galloping you're supposed to be on top of the horse, you can't just sit and bump on the horse."

Charlie replied: "I think what I'll do is I'll take the testimony of Jack Andrews the jockey over your expertise in the area.

"That's all I'm saying I think he probably knows what he's talking about."

One fan tweeted: "The horse chat is making me giggle this morning between Charlie & Naga #BBCBreakfast."
