BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty begs fans for help after nightmare incident at home
NAGA Munchetty called on her fans for help after her cat caused mayhem at home this weekend.
Issuing a plea on Twitter, the BBC Breakfast presenter turned to her doting fans – and they were quick to rally round.
The 47-year-old asked her followers what she should do after her cat brought a bat into her home on Sunday.
She tweeted: “Does anyone know how to get a bat to safety? Cat brought one in yesterday. It’s alive this morning, no obvious injuries, but not flying.
“Currently in a box with towels and a little water. Any rescue centres I can take it to in Herts?”
The star’s fans were quick to offer support and tips, with one writing: “We had same. Give him mealworm and water in a milk bottle. RSPCA were brilliant.”

Another suggested: “Get in touch with the Bat Conservation Trust and they will be able to put you in touch with someone local who can help take care of it.”
Shortly afterwards, Naga returned to social media to reassure her followers that the situation was in hand.
She retweeted her original message, adding: “Is being sorted with a local rescue group – thank you for suggestions.”
Naga was emotional earlier in the week, when she had to bid goodbye to a much-loved BBC colleague.
