BBC Breakfast presenters Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt have been slated following an interview with James Blunt.
The singer, 47, appeared on Friday’s programme (February 4) to promote his Greatest Hits tour.
However, the interview didn’t sit well with some viewers at home.
BBC Breakfast presenters under fire
During the chat, Charlie joked over James having plastic surgery to maintain his youthful appearance.
Following a compilation of his hits, the host remarked: “You appear to be getting younger! Looking at that video and looking at you now… what’s going on?”
James joked: “I think with plastic surgery it’s little and often is the technique I would advise.”

Laughing, Charlie responded: “As you know, some people will think that’s a double bluff.”
But the joke fell flat with James.
He cringed: “It’s not… I don’t know where to go from here.”
Charlie quickly replied: “We’ll stop right there.”
The presenters then went on to grill James over his tour bus.
The musician explained that he sleeps on his bus with 16 other people.

Naga quizzed James over where he sleeps, asking: “How big is the bus? Do you sleep in the corner? Do you have your own private corner?”
Meanwhile, Charlie was keen to know how James managed to sleep surrounded by other people.
But some viewers were left baffled over the irrelevant questions.

@BBCBreakfast @TVNaga01 @JamesBlunt Hey Naga and Charlie, why not ask the talented James Blunt a series of inane irrelevant questions about his tour bus rather than some insightful questions about his album? eg how did he choose the tracks, and his NEW SINGLE Adrenaline..

Does Naga Munchetty not realise it's a potential security breach to pinpoint where James Blunt sleeps on his tour bus?
Also it's weird.#BBCBreakfast @BBCOne @BBCBreakfast— Sugar Crunch (@borgamsch) February 4, 2022
