BBC Breakfast 's Charlie Stayt was left unimpressed on Friday morning after seeing some footage of school meals. During the episode, Naga Munchetty told viewers that scientists from the University College in London have discovered that being fussy about food could boil down to genetics, not parenting. While the presenter informed fans about the research, a montage of clips started to play of various school meals, one including a cheesy baked potato.
When the video ended, Naga asked her co-host: "What have you learnt from that?" He replied: "Well I just saw a photo of a baked potato." Asking if that made him want one, he replied he didn't as it wasn't the most appealing. Charlie added: "No not really, it didn't look very appetising.
" Taken aback by his frank comment, Naga replied: "Ooh, a bit rude!" His co-star looked slightly awkward as she smiled while he continued to comment on the food in the clips. Charlie added: "What we should've had there were pictures of really lovely food shouldn't we?" Although Naga told him not to knock it, he defended his comments by stating he wasn't complaining about the baked potato, just the amount of topping it had. He said: "I'm just saying, I didn't particularly want one and that one didn't look very nice.
I don't like them covered in slop either. People pile loads of stuff on the baked potato. Just have it simple! With a little bit of butter, perfect.
" As Naga jokingly called him the 'baked potato police' she handed over to Sarah Keith-Luc.
