Naga Munchetty, 45, was stunned when her BBC Radio 5 Live colleague Nihal Arthanayake, 49, revealed the gruesome extent of his daughter’s symptoms, after he was forced to take the day off work to look after her. Thankfully nothing serious, it appeared she fell ill with a stomach bug that left her “projective vomiting” all over the house.
Hey, It’s lunch time!

But the admission was something Naga didn’t want to hear before she signed off to get her lunch.
As she welcomed him back to the airwaves, Nihal explained his absence.
“A not very well daughter meant I had to take yesterday’s show off,” he told the host.
“Ah Im sorry!” Naga exclaimed, “I hope she felt better after a bit of sunshine!”
But he didn’t seem too convinced as he replied: “Well, the projective vomiting has definitely stopped…”
Naga quickly interrupted him before he could go any further.
“Hey, It’s lunch time!” She scolded, as Nihal chuckled at the cheeky comment.
Elsewhere, Naga found herself being pulled up after she interviewed Scottish MP Jamie Greene, about his opinions on the popularity of new Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross, who replaced Ruth Davidson, who previously held the position.
Greene branded her questions “unfair” as she pressed him for an answer about who was “better or worse” at leading the party ahead of the election.
“Let’s talk about the party,” she said, “Is Douglas Ross a better leader of the Scottish Conservatives than Ruth Davidson was?”
Jamie chuckled as he noted impartially: “Well, they’re very different…”
But it clearly wasn’t the answer Naga was looking for, as she interrupted: “Better or worse?”

The Scottish MP replied: “I think that’s a bit unfair on both of them…” before he was swiftly cut off by the BBC Breakfast host again.
She said: “Well, is it fair considering a poll from the Sunday Times saw Douglas Ross’ approval rating has fallen seven points in the past month and he is now the least popular Scottish leader?”
After a short pause, her guest stuck to his original response, noting they both had different strengths.
“Ruth is a very tough act to follow,” he stated.
“I got into politics because Ruth asked me to stand in as a candidate for the last Scottish election and I consider myself as a part of Team Ruth in many ways.”
He added: “But she stood down a while back and we have elected a new leader who has a very bold plan.
“He’s really likeable, he’s a great guy and Douglas works incredibly hard and is a good MP.”
It comes as part-time football linesman Douglas, denied he is being “sidelined” after the Scottish Tories brought back Ruth to promote the Union after a poll predicted a supermajority for pro-independence parties.
