BBC Breakfast stars look totally unrecognisable from their teenage years – including host who had big break on Casualty --[Reported by Umva mag]

THE cast of BBC Breakfast have undergone some serious transformations since their teenage years.

Whilst fans are used to waking up to them each morning on the big red sofa, they would be forgiven for failing to identify them from their older snaps. Let’s take a look at the major transformations of the morning TV favourites…

Naga Munchetty

Naga has become arguably BBC Breakfast’s most well-known name and was recently revealed to be banking more than her co-stars as the show’s top earner.

Whilst these days she sports a very cropped hair look, in throwback pics to her teenage years, Naga could be seen with more vouluminous locks.

As a fresh-faced teen, she had curly hair that sat just above her shoulders.

Now 49, Naga previously opened up about her childhood when she appeared as a guest on Rhod Gilbert’s TV show.

Although she admitted she was “straight A” student, a rude mistake saw her EXPELLED from school.

Naga recalled: “It was the last day of school and it’s when you cut loose and you all sign each other’s shirts on the last day of school.

“We would draw pictures, so, I got expelled for…”

She interrupted herself to confirm that the shirt in question she still does own as she went on: “We’d draw big penises and boobs and periods on the shirts.”

The audience laughed as host Rhod was taken aback as he jokingly said: “We were all obsessed with drawing c**k and ba**s when we were teenagers.”

Nina Warhurst

Mum-of-three Nina has made a name for herself as being BBC Breakfast‘s go-to stand-in host.

However, fans will be shocked to learn that her first TV appearance was on a popular BBC drama way back in 1997 and she looked totally different.

A then-budding actress, she played the small role of teenage Lisa Davies on the show’s Christmas special.

She later went on to appear in Heartbeat the following year and Butterfly Collectors in 1999.

Nina isn’t the only one to have a TV soap connection from her younger days with Jon Kay having also found himself on a rather famous TV set.

Aged in his 20s, the BBC star looked worlds away from his current self with a cheeky chappie look in a throwback snap he uploaded to X.

Jon said of the snap: “This is me backpacking in Melbourne 25 years ago and bumping into the *actual* Kennedys filming on the *actual* Ramsay Street!”

He began working for the Beeb around this time with a role on BBC Radio Bristol.
