BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt enjoy a pint and a cigarette as they relax in the pub after work

BBC Breakfast hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt were spotted enjoying some downtime together after fronting the flagship news programme.

The pair - who often leave BBC Breakfast viewers giggling with their banter and playful digs - clearly enjoy each others company off-screen as well.

Naga, 48, wore a black jumper, jeans and boots and wrapped up in a long coat as she stood in the outside smoking area of a bar in Manchester.

As she puffed away on a cigarette, Charlie, 60, sipped on his pint.

At one point former Strictly Come Dancing star Naga whipped out her phone to show her co-star something.

Charlie, wearing a trendy green jacket, leaned his head to one side as he listened intently to what she had to say.

Their downtime together came just days after Naga hit Charlie with a fish live on air.

The host seemed to enjoy the light-hearted moment - though it didn't look like her co-presenter was quite so pleased.

Charlie didn't smile during the jape, which saw Naga tap him on the back of the head with the blow-up haddock, before waving it in his face.

The inflatable fish were in the studio in honour of football club Grimsby Town, who are famous for waving them at FA Cup games.

Naga was also seen bickering with Charlie on her recent return to the show.

She returned to screen this month after three weeks away.

Naga received a warm welcome on Twitter, with one fan writing: "Good morning Naga. Lovely to see you back on the red sofa."

Another tweeted: "Great to see you back on Breakfast this morning. Shows not quite the same without you, it misses your wit and style of interviewing. Keep up the great work."
