During a recent live broadcast of BBC Breakfast, seasoned television presenter Naga Munchetty experienced an unexpected and somewhat embarrassing wardrobe malfunction. While delivering a segment alongside her co-host Charlie Stayt, Munchetty’s dress suddenly came undone — an incident she was initially unaware of as she continued speaking to millions of viewers across the UK.

During a live broadcast, as she attempted to adjust her microphone pack, her dress inadvertently slipped — revealing more than intended. The moment caught audiences off guard and was later widely shared across social media platforms.
Unlike Munchetty’s subtle incident, Llasera’s mishap sparked an intense round of tabloid headlines and online chatter. The Spanish presenter, however, addressed the moment with characteristic humor and transparency, later posting on Instagram that live TV is “as real as it gets,” and that “accidents happen, especially when you’re wearing a mic pack under a cocktail dress.
