Naga said, ‘Carol will of course check the weather for us this morning.
“Carol…I guess we must never ask you about snow on Christmas Day. You always have that really stern look when I ask.
Naga then turned to Charlie and said, “Isn’t it?”

Carol playfully hit back: “Naga I prefer it if you ask me on Boxing Day about the snow on Christmas Day to be honest but hey ho.
“I’ll start with that, because of course what makes a white Christmas is snow that falls somewhere in the 24 hours of Christmas Day.
“Right now the highest chance of seeing snow if you want it is in the north and north-west of Scotland, but it could well be later in the evening or maybe overnight.”
Back in October, Naga admitted she was branded “fucking useless” by bosses in the early days of her career.
The TV presenter said she was “thrown” with copies and left the office in “flows of tears” when she was a print journalist.
Speaking to Radio Times, Naga said the harsh treatment made her better at her job in the long run.
She said: “When I started with newspapers, I was pelted with copies. I was told I was fucking useless.
“I went home in tears some days, but I also learned not to make mistakes, that mistakes are not acceptable.
She said this prompted her to research her research “twice as hard and to the best of her ability.”
“That fear of making a mistake meant you did your research twice as well and to the best of your ability,” she explained.
