BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty faces investigation into ‘hard' and ‘bullying' behaviour after string of complaints
THE BBC is set to launch an investigation into Naga Munchetty following a string of complaints. The Breakfast host, 50, has been placed 'under review' while bosses consider escalating matters to a formal investigation. 4 4 A source said bosses had heard from a number of aggrieved colleagues, logging concerns over her 'hard' and 'bullying' behaviour on BBC Breakfast and her Radio 5 Live show. She had also been hauled in by bosses over allegations she made an off-air sex jibe at 5 Live. The source said: 'Following the amount of people who have come forward to share their experiences with Naga, the BBC has officially moved to place the complaints under review. "The review is to ascertain whether a full-on investigation is required and that could come in weeks.' We have reported she faced complaints on 5 Live including a bullying claim and the use of crude, sexual language. Bosses were forced to apologise on her behalf after a tense interview with Spice Girl Geri Horner in 2023. A BBC spokesperson said: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously and will not tolerate behaviour that is not in line with our values. 'We have robust processes in place and would encourage any staff with concerns to raise them directly with us so they can be addressed.' Her conduct came under the spotlight after a probe into the award-winning show's director, Richard Frediani. "He has returned to work following the investigation into his conduct, including a claim he 'physically shook' a female worker. BBC star Naga Munchetty hauled in by bosses over allegations she BULLIED a junior staffer and 'made an off-air sex jibe' A second 'listening' review by HR has encouraged staff to share ang grievances about Frediani, Munchetty and her co-host Charlie Stayt. Munchatty began work on BBC Breakfast in 2014 and covers Thursday to Saturday alongside Stayt, as well as presenting a Radio 5 programme three times a week. She is the BBC's 10th highest earner, on around £355,000. We reported since the bullying row had erupted on BBC Breakfast, her team had approached LBC radio to seek out new opportunities. 4

Free The Donald
The talk among Maga supporters at Turnberry Golf Club this week was whether Donald Trump should be offered the freedom of the City of London on his State visit next month. The Honorary Freedom has never been awarded to a sitting US president. One City figure tells me: 'This would be a unique honour, and it is tied to our history with a focus on trade.' But the Corporation of London sounds lukewarm. A spokesman says: 'By convention, only heads of state or government who have served a minimum of seven years in office are eligible to be considered for the Honorary Freedom.' Any decision must be approved by the Court of Common Council, he adds, and it will not meet until next month. Surely this is the time to waive conventions? False flag I was one of the lucky reporters in the room when Donald Trump met Sir Keir Starmer at Turnberry on Monday. It felt like our PM was visiting Trump in the US, even though we were in Scotland. And no wonder: the US flag was flown on the left of the Union flag, meaning that the Stars and Stripes was 'the senior national flag', according to guidance from the Flag Institute. Was this a diplomatic snub? Joanna's marriage secret Dame Joanna Lumley has been married to conductor Stephen Barlow for almost 40 years, which has ensured that barely any modern-day pop music is played behind closed doors. 'I'm married to a classical musician, so we don't really have popular music in the house very often,' the Ab Fab actress, 79, explains on Radio 2. 'I stopped at about The Everly Brothers, really.' Awks in Ambridge Snogging your girlfriend in Ambridge is 'horrendously awkward' says Taylor Uttley, who plays Brad Horrobin and is in an air relationship with Mia Grundy on Radio 4's The Archers. He says: 'You have to time a kiss on the back of your hand at the same time, relative to the same microphone. So you have to look between you and go OK 'one, two, three and then do that'. That's awful.' Awks! Tarrant's TV exit Former Tiswas and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? presenter Chris Tarrant does not miss being on TV shows. He says: 'I spent 50 years on them. I'd rather be fishing or going somewhere nice with my old lady or my kids.' Tarrant says he is still asked to do 'dreadful things' including The Masked Singer. But he says. 'It's a naff idea. I can't believe they make it. And what's next? You know, The Masked Chef, The Masked Knife Juggler. What else are they going to do?' Tarrant adds: 'My missus says to me 'It would reignite your career' but the last thing I want to do is reignite my career. I'm trying to stop.' Shy Michael Former Conservative MP Sir Michael Fabricant has hit back against campaigners who want to cancel naked bike rides which happen in UK, Birmingham and Cardiff. 'These are just a bit of fun,' Fabricant, 75, told the BBC. 'These are fairly innocent events. If you don't want to see bits and pieces wobbling around, don't look.' The nearest Fabricant got to riding naked was when he was cycling alone for charity. He says: 'I had tiny little shorts on or I would have been arrested.' Why so modest Fabbers? Cleanshaven Philp Shadow home secretary Chris Philp shaved off his beard before the last general election, prompting speculation that it was a turn-off for voters. 'No, that is not true,' he told me on GB News' Chopper's Political Podcast. 'I did suffer a backlash on the beard, but it came amongst others from my 12-year-old daughter and unfortunately, faced by a backlash from my 12 year old daughter, the beard had to go.' Travelling light Peterborough readers have been sending in their packing tips for travelling light, following actor Nigel Havers' example. David Shaw tries to 'halve the amount of clothes and double the amount of money' he is taking just before he sets off, while Michael Weeden said: 'I can think of nothing more efficient, than going to a naturist resort and packing just a bottle of good sun cream.' John Turner was so inspired he wrote a long poem, ending: 'So, now I've made a rational decision/whenever I go wandering from home./ Be it Blackpool or Bahamas,/ I have had my share of dramas;/ It's pyjamas, a toothbrush and a comb.'

Rihanna in major career boost after axing London gigs following third pregnancy with partner ASAP Rocky
WITH baby number three on the way, Rihanna could be forgiven for wanting to just put her feet up for the foreseeable. But after we revealed in March that she cancelled a string of live dates for this year, my insiders have told me her tour is now back on for next year. And the shows will see her performing in the UK for the first time in a decade. A source said: 'Rihanna pulled the plug just days before her 2025 tour was due to be announced. 'There ended up being issues with production and scheduling conflicts, plus she didn't feel like her music was ready. 'But Rihanna and her team are now confident they can make it work for next year. 'The dates will also coincide with the tenth anniversary of [her last album] Anti, and fans can expect to hear her new music too. 'Rihanna might be pregnant with her third baby but she is the ultimate working mum and has the support of her partner A$ap Rocky. 'It's going to be incredible for her fans and she can't wait to be back out on stage.' Before Rihanna dramatically pulled the plug on her shows this summer at the 11th hour, she had reserved six dates at the London Stadium for July. The decision to cull the shows means she now has time to make sure she is totally happy with her next album — and it gives her time to focus on her new baby. Dream come true Rihanna is one of the best-selling artists ever, with more than 250million records sold worldwide. Pregnant Rihanna's third baby's gender revealed as partner A$AP Rocky slips and leaks news on Smurfs red carpet As well as nine UK No1 singles, including We Found Love and Only Girl (In The World), she has built a huge beauty and cosmetics brand, Fenty Beauty. Being honest, it makes me feel tired just looking at what Ri-Ri juggles. To see her back on stage in the UK would be a dream come true for next year, especially after the incredible summer of music we're having right now. Drake Jet jest DRAKE swaps private planes for budget airlines in a Jet2 meme that went viral. The holiday firm has featured in an unlikely TikTok trend along with the audio to their ad, which uses Jess Glynne's song Hold My Hand. 7 Drake posed in front of Jet2 branding at a UK airport and joked: 'From Jet2 to 2Jets ya musta mad.' I'm sure he'll get discounted tickets if his private plane is ever grounded. It comes after Mariah Carey used the audio from the advert on a post this week. SI'S PEGG-ER OUT IN VID SIMON PEGG has revealed he got his todger out for a joke in a home video with wife Maureen – and accidentally played it to his parents-in-law at Christmas. The Hot Fuzz star told the Wrong Turns podcast: 'Everyone was gathered around the TV. I found a video cassette . . . it's of my wife and myself on holiday in Catalonia. Maureen comes up and she's wearing this nice summer dress. 'Then I step in front of the camera saying, 'I'm wearing this . . . ' and as I'm watching myself, a little tremor of a memory comes back to me. 'But not before I pulled down my trousers and shorts, grabbed my penis, and I go, 'This is my shirt, this is my shorts, this is my penis.' 'Not only that, I swing it around, you know, the helicopter trick.' Bet they all left the pigs in blankets. Shak has new lock SHAKIRA took a short break from her mammoth Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour to launch her new haircare range. The Hips Don't Lie singer, who looked pretty in pink, celebrated her new brand Isima with fans at a pop-up in Los Angeles. 7 7 The singer, who has natural curls, said she chose to create the brand after years of damaging her own hair. She said: 'I've been one of those women who come out of the beauty salon crying. 'I've been blonde, I've had red hair, and I've worn my hair straight. 'I had keratin treatments done. My hair has been through a lot of trauma.' I'm with you, Shak. My barnet is like straw. ORITSE SET ON SOLO LIFE JLS singer Oritse Williams is relaunching his solo career – ten years after his first solo EP Waterline. A source close to the singer said: 'Oritse has been busy in the studio and has come up with a selection of songs that he thinks are perfect for him and represent him away from the JLS boys. 7 'He will always consider himself a JLS member but this is something that he has wanted to do for some time. 'It's an important creative outlet for him away from the JLS shows.' Oritse will hit the road with his bandmates Aston Merrygold, JB Gill and Marvin Humes later this year. The group will kick off their The Club Is Alive: 2025 Hits Tour at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on November 6. A less freaky Friday, Lindsay LINDSAY LOHAN kept things in the family for the Freakier Friday London premiere. The actress flew in with husband Bader Shammas and their two-year-old son Luai. 7 And instead of hitting up a wild after-party, she celebrated with a posh meal at Cantonese restaurant China Tang, part of the The Dorchester Hotel, in Mayfair. At the premiere, Lindsay was asked what she misses about the early Noughties, when the original Freaky Friday film was released. She replied: 'I am happy today. I think we always reminisce, we don't have to miss.'
