BBC’s Naga Munchetty pays sweet tribute to co-star as they quit after 10 years

BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty took to social media to pay a sweet tribute to her Radio 5 Live co-star Chris Latcham on his last day.

Chris posted his farewell to his fans on social media in an emotional message, writing: "Right guys, that's me. Thanks for having me on @bbc5live.

"Media City has been a brilliant place to work with a truly outstanding cast. The station is in safe hands."

Sharing his pride over sharing the "biggest news and sport stories around", Chris joked about his early starts as he admitted he was ready to have a few lie-ins.

He added: "After five years on Breakfast (with two kids), I can no longer answer the 4am alarm.

"Big shout out to all of our brilliant listeners for being so engaged and warm towards me.

"This was genuinely my dream job and I'm proud to have carried the flag.

"Thanks for having me on radio."

Naga is also on his team, as she hosts her own show on 5 Live from Monday to Wednesday, before appearing on BBC Breakfast in the latter half of the week alongside Charlie Stayt.

She replied saying: "Enjoy the lie-ins! You'll be missed my friend," adding a kiss to the end of her tweet.

Naga also made it clear she wanted a reunion with her co-star as soon as possible, as BBC presenter Katherine Downes sent him a sweet message in response to his news.

She wrote: "Latch, a total natural on air, and just as brilliant off it. Can't wait to see what comes next for you. Fancy 9 holes now the evenings are longer and there's no 4am alarm?"

Naga replied: "I want in!"

BBC Breakfast airs weekdays at 6am on BBC.
