The BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty is reportedly being formally investigated over allegations of bullying.

It follows previous claims of bullying by the 50-year-old broadcaster on the programme, which have now been escalated to a full investigation, according to the Sun.

A BBC spokesperson said: “We do not comment on individual HR matters.”

Munchetty began her career at the corporation as a presenter on the business programme Working Lunch in 2008, before moving to BBC Breakfast in 2014. She also presents a mid-morning show on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Munchetty earned between £355,000 and £359,999 in 2024-25, according to figures published in the BBC’s annual report.

An HR adviser from the consultancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers has been supporting the corporation as it looks into the culture of the BBC One show, which is based in Salford and airs every weekday morning.

In September, it was reported that the editor of BBC Breakfast, Richard Frediani, had been cleared of bullying allegations after an investigation.

Frediani, a former ITV News executive who has been in charge of the morning show since 2019, took an extended period of leave after the allegations were made.

Tim Davie, who resigned as director general last weekend, and the BBC board chair, Samir Shah, vowed in April to “draw a line in the sand” after an independent review of the corporation found some “well-known names” were “not being held to account for poor behaviour”.

It found the corporation did not have a toxic workplace culture but said it must intervene earlier when allegations of inappropriate behaviour emerge.

The workplace culture review, led by the management consultant Grahame Russell, from Change Associates, was launched in the wake of allegations against the former newsreader Huw Edwards.

Edwards was given a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, last year after he admitted charges of making indecent images of children.
