Naga Munchetty looks unrecognisable in epic throwback picture as she opens up about sad school days

NAGA Munchetty left fans stunned as she shared a throwback picture of her time at school.

The BBC Breakfast star looked worlds away from what her fans know and love today as she sported a fuller hairstyle flowing in curls which tumbled around her face.

The TV presenter looked incredibly fresh faced in the snap as she flashed her teeth with a dazzling smile.

Naga showed the photo during an appearance on Rhod Gilbert's Growing Pains on Wednesday night.

Her fellow guests on the show told her she looked "stunning" and as though she'd walked "straight off a catwalk".

As the 47-year-old and her fellow guests looked at the photo, she opened up on a difficult part of her school journey.

Speaking on the Comedy Central show, Naga admitted: "So [I was] a straight A student, the teachers did like me, you know, a musician, lardy-dardy dah, so really annoying, right.

"But no one fancied me."

Host Rhod was taken aback as Naga repeated herself once again.

Talk quickly turned however to Naga's attempts to capture the affections of one boy in her school by writing him a series of love letters.

Naga recalled: "We used to write these letters.

"This is how sad I was right, so I loved Prince and he loved Prince, and so we used to write these letters to each other with all Prince lyrics in them."

In a shock twist, Naga revealed she still had the letters to this day and even whipped them out on the show, leaving the panel stunned.

Rhod Gilbert's Growing Pains airs Wednesday night on Comedy Central.
