Naga Munchetty has revealed that she was branded an ‘idiot’ by her producer after she made a dangerous health error.

The BBC Breakfast host, 49, opened up on her potential life-threatening blunder as she told how she forgot to reorder her vital EpiPen, which she needs for her Birch Oral Syndrome (also known as oral allergy syndrome (OAS), which is an allergic reaction that can occur when people with birch pollen allergies eat certain fruits and vegetables).

During a recent discussion about allergies on the show, Naga told her condition is connected to Hay fever, which, according to doctors, is on the rise.

Naga told how trying to get hold of an EpiPen had been proving to be ‘quite difficult’, especially if you hadn’t had an allergic episode in a while, causing her to put off trying to get one.

And her lack of action in procuring the crucial medical device was criticised by her colleague, with Naga herself admitting her lapse was ‘really bad’.

Official NHS guidelines state that the auto-injectors were vital for immediate response to severe allergic reactions triggered by various allergens, including insect stings or bites, foods, drugs or exercise.

During the episode, Naga spoke with a guest called Palina, who recalled a terrifying incident during a holiday in Thailand where she was left fighting for breath after mistakenly consuming the wrong dish in a restaurant.
