BBC Breakfast’s Charlie Stayt is joining co-host Naga Munchetty “under review” after a string of complaints.

The process will decide if Stayt, 63, and Munchetty, 50, will face a formal investigation.

Crew are said to have pointed to “rudeness” and “bullying” as well as behaviour that “undermines staff” — with Munchetty shouldering much of the criticism.

But Stayt’s conduct has also been put under the spotlight after a probe was launched into the show’s director, Richard Frediani.

A source said: “A number of people have come forward to share their experiences with Charlie, so the BBC has officially moved to place the complaints under review.

“Charlie and Naga will be assessed separately.”

Bosses called in an external consultant to examine Frediani’s conduct and the director has returned to work.

A BBC spokesman said: “While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously and will not tolerate behaviour that is not in line with our values.”

The Sun revealed this week that Munchetty “went ballistic” at an intern for getting her porridge wrong, an insider claimed.

The insider previously worked with Munchetty on BBC Breakfast and revealed the host was an “absolute nightmare” and would “kick off about the smallest of issues”.

The source has claimed that under-fire BBC presenter Naga has a reputation for going “ballistic” at junior staff.

An insider told the Mail: “She has a reputation for going at young members of staff and making them out to be fools.

“She would kick off about the smallest of issues, including one time she went ballistic over her breakfast not being prepared exactly how she likes it by an intern.”

Munchetty refused to eat porridge delivered to her by an intern during an ad break as it was too hot for her to eat in the time she had.
