Naga Munchetty, 47, could not hide her surprise after BBC Breakfast star Nina Warhurst, 42, showed fans a glimpse into her first appearance. The business presenter got her start in show business as a teen actor on BBC medical drama Casualty.
Marking the broadcaster’s 100th birthday, Nina shared a series of stills from her time on the show.
The pictures showed her character looking emotional with a bandage and face injuries.
Nina captioned the shots: “Happy Birthday BBC [balloon emoji] Howling at finding my first appearance with Auntie.
“Casualty…a spiky teen in polyester, keeping boys a secret, causing parents endless headaches (v method for me in 1997 luvvies).”
She added: “Here’s to the next chapter… Proud to be part of it. #OurBBC #BBC100.”(sic)
A surprised Naga retweeted the post, adding: “Love this! Who knew?” alongside a smiley emoji.
Nina’s BBC colleagues and fellow broadcasters rushed to her tweet’s replies and reacted to the unrecognisable snaps.
Co-host Jon Kay typed: “This is true TV gold. Where is the actual tape???? We need to see it….”
Sky News journalist Sally Lockwood added: “This has made my day – Changing your profile pic on my phone to the head bandage shot.”
BBC reporter penned: “That’s TV gold! Makes my walking down the Uni steps as an ‘extra’ on Dalziel and Pascoe pale into insignificance. The best bit was the canteen food.”
Elsewhere, Naga recently opened up about her beginnings as a BBC presenter and the warning she was issued ahead of her ongoing role.
The TV star has been an anchor for the broadcaster since 2008 when she first joined the BBC Working Lunch Team.
Since 2010 she has presented the morning bulletins with co-host Charlie Stayt and will not shy away from calling out guests when she disagrees.
However, she recently confessed she was told to “toughen up” before taking the job as she used to be “too sensitive”.
Naga explained that she feels the “scrutiny is ever-present on social media because everyone has an opinion”.
She expressed that no matter how you may word things or slip up in the slightest way, people will interpret it how they want to and run with it.
“Not that it stops me from doing my job, and doing it the way I do it, but you are very aware that the scrutiny is bigger,” she told Radio Times.
Naga also admitted that she has developed a thick skin over the years after being told that she was quite sensitive before taking the job.
“I remember when I first decided I wanted to explore being on air, I was told, ‘You are quite sensitive.
“You do take criticism quite hard and you dwell on things. You need to toughen up.’ And I did.”
