BBC cuts out mid-broadcast as Naga Munchetty reveals critical UK update!
BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty launched into a breaking news story during the live broadcast on Thursday.
Co-presenters Charlie Stayt and Naga began gave an overview of the day’s major headlines during the morning instalment.
The camera panned to show the top sport stories and an overview of the weather.
When the camera returned, Naga launched into the urgent news about the UK’s economic growth.
As a ‘breaking’ tab displayed on the bottom of the screen, the presenter said: ‘Good morning it’s Thursday the 15th of May.
‘Economic growth figures have just been released this morning and show that the UK economy expanded by 0.7 per cent in the first quarter of this year.’

Charlie added: ‘The Office for National Statistics data comes at a turbulent time for the global economy.
‘Analysts warn that any significant increase in economic activity could be short-lived.’
The increase was better than the 0.6 per cent analysts had pencilled in, with Keir Starmer wading in to boast that activity had outstripped the US, Canada, France, Italy and Germany.
It comes after BBC Breakfast was unexpectedly interrupted last month due to a technical problem during a live broadcast.
Presenters Naga and Charlie were reading the morning’s headlines when they handed over to reporter Oli Constable, who was live in Preston.
Oli was chatting to TikTok stars The SpudBros, brothers Jacob and Harley Nelson, who were in the middle of an event at Preston’s Flag Market.
The pair are raising awareness for testicular cancer during Testicular Cancer Awareness Month with a catchy campaign called ‘Check Your Spuds.’
But just as Oli began his interview with Jacob, the screen froze and the broadcast cut out.

Back in the studio, Naga told viewers: ‘Okay Oli, we’re having some problems there with the technical gremlins in the room but we’ll get back to Oli Constable and Spud Bros, of course, to find out what they’re doing.’
She explained that the aim of the campaign was to get men to check themselves for signs of testicular cancer: ‘In a way, ‘check your spuds’ kind of explains it all.’
Charlie joked: ‘Meanwhile, they’ll be checking the cables.’
Naga laughed and added: ‘Yes, that’s what they should have checked as well.’
