BBC host Naga hits back at troll

The rude Twitter user decided to pipe up following a tweet Naga made on Sunday evening (April 3).

In response to an article about crisp sandwiches, Naga said: “I always add ‘ready salted’ crisps to my sandwiches (no other flavour works for me), but never go for a solo crisp sandwich. Each to their own I say.”

Tweeting the star, the troll responded: “You look well Naga, but, you’ve gained a few pounds recently. Don’t let it progress.”
