BBC Breakfast co-host Naga Munchetty is leaving the programme after 17 years. BBC News reports she will move from the BBC One morning sofa to a presenting role on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast. Multiple outlets say the change is part of a new job that has already been announced, with the expectation that she will take up her next breakfast-show role on Radio 5 Live. The Independent and other papers report she is 51 and that her departure from BBC Breakfast is scheduled for January 2027. Other coverage echoes that she has confirmed the move in a statement, describing it as a new opportunity. While some sources differ on the exact number of years mentioned, all accounts agree the central point: Munchetty steps down from BBC Breakfast and transitions to breakfast presenting on BBC Radio 5 Live. The BBC continues to present BBC Breakfast as part of its morning schedule, and Munchetty’s new assignment is framed as her next long-term role within the BBC’s radio programming.
