BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty has been inundated with messages of support from her co-stars and fans after she issued an emotional statement on social media

Naga Munchetty has received an outpouring of support from her BBC Breakfast colleagues after sharing an emotional update on Instagram.

When she’s not gracing our screens on BBC Breakfast, Naga has been busy promoting her new book ‘It’s Probably Nothing’, a personal account of her own health struggles that remained undiagnosed for years.

The broadcaster also embarked on a book tour, during which she connected with other women who have endured their own silent health battles.

In a recent Instagram post, Naga shared highlights from her latest event and expressed gratitude to those who joined the conversation.

Her post read: “Last weekend, almost 1,700 people joined me at @hayfestival to discuss women’s health and my new book, It’s Probably Nothing.”

She continued: “It was an insightful and passionate discussion on why women’s pain and symptoms have historically been ignored, and what we can do to advocate for ourselves in the healthcare system,” reports the Express.

Wrapping up her heartfelt message, Naga said: “Thank you to everyone who came to the event, and @hayfestival for having me. It’s Probably Nothing is now available online, in all good bookshops, and in ebook and audiobook.”

Colleagues like Nina Warhurst and Ben Thompson were among the first to comment, leading a wave of supportive messages for Naga from her co-stars and fans alike.

Nina responded with a single fire emoji, while Ben sent Naga an emoji of fireworks. One fan commented: “Thank you for speaking up and writing this book for all women and sharing the women’s gynecological health crisis and the way they are being treated in the system. I wish I had this book and am having to navigate my own health challenges/conditions.”

Other fans praised her, saying, “It was so amazing to hear you talk,” and “Fantastic turnout, this goes to show how much difference you’re making and how many people need you as an advocate.”

In a recent interview, Naga discussed her struggles with adenomyosis, a condition in which the lining of the uterus grows into the uterine walls. She told the i: “I wasn’t diagnosed with it until I was 47, but I’ve probably had it since the age of about 15. I’d always pass out when my periods started, have diarrhoea, feel dizzy, and often be crying or screaming in agony.”

Naga recalled being told by doctors that her symptoms were normal and that she would grow out of it, which she now recognises as a form of gaslighting. She stopped bringing it up as a result.

BBC Breakfast airs daily at 6am on BBC One.
