Naga Munchetty on Twitter
Naga was subject to a rude comment about her weight by a troll on Twitter this morning.
The rude Twitter user decided to pipe up following a tweet Naga made last night (Sunday, 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.”

It was this tweet that the troll decided to reply to. “You look well Naga, but, you’ve gained a few pounds recently. Don’t let it progress…,” they wrote.
Earlier today, Naga quoted the offending tweet, writing: “Thank goodness for people like Paul.”
A number of Naga’s 268.9k followers quickly leapt to her defence in the replies.
“If [user name] knew anything about you and the calibre of woman you are, he would not have wasted his time. And still you rise!” one of her followers said.
“Wow some people really [have] no idea do they!! I know you don’t need any affirmation from me but you are fabulous!” another wrote.
“To be fair Naga… he’s 50% right, you look fantastic!!!” a third tweeted.
“Do people really tweet this kind of stuff?!? I give up! You’re gorgeous, Naga, ignore the haters!” another said.
“Keep up the good work Naga. You are a breath of fresh air,” a fifth tweeted.

“Nice to see Naga wearing the pyjamas of a sexy bond villain,” one viewer said.
“What is Naga wearing. We all know from watching Breakfast news over the years how people should appear on BBC Breakfast show,” another grumbled. “Her brown gown just looks ridiculous.”
However, Naga’s outfit did have some fans! “Oh @TVNaga01 looking SLICK AF today in her satin jumpsuit,” one said.
