Naga Munchetty made a very unfortunate slip during the morning edition of BBC Breakfast, when she confused two very famous men named Boris. Tennis star Boris Becker was jailed on Friday afternoon for hiding και 2.5m worth of assets and loans to avoid paying off debts. The 54-year-old six-time Grand Slam champion was found guilty of four counts under the Insolvency Act. However, while discussing the news on Saturday morning, the BBC’s Munchetty presenter made a big blunder, misunderstanding him with Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Giving the spectators an update on the titles, the host began: “Three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Johnson has just spent his first night in jail. “He was sentenced to two and a half years for concealing assets to avoid paying debts.” Naga tells viewers “Boris Johnson just spent his first night in jail” (Image: BBC) Becker was sentenced in Southwark Crown Court on Friday (Image: Adrian Dennis / AFP) Then, her co-presenter, Ben Thompson, handed it over to sports reporter Mike Bushell, to find out a little more about the situation. Despite the slip that occurred in just a few moments on television, many viewers quickly realized the very unfortunate mistake. One shared on Twitter: “What a slip! The BBC’s @ TVNaga01 claims that Boris Johnson has just spent his first night in jail. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is not in jail (Image: Rob Pinney / Getty Images) Or as Naga Munchetty just said on the BBC’s 0900 Morning News headlines, “Boris Johnson”… .. – mick west (@MickVest) April 30, 2022 So Naga Munchetty also said that Boris Johnson went to jail when he referred to Boris Becker. Is this Freudian? – Terry Lander (@Lyvit) April 30, 2022 “It was a Freudian slip by Naga Munchetty. ‘Boris Johnson spent his night in jail.’ #GTTO,” said another. One viewer added: “It did not help when Naga at the BBC breakfast actually said that Boris Johnson had been jailed without correction instead of Becker.”

“So Naga Munchetty also said that Boris Johnson went to jail when he referred to Boris Becker. Is this Freudian? shared another.
