Naga Munchetty reveals she was 'expelled' from school over explicit drawings

Naga Munchetty has revealed that she was "expelled" on the last day of high school when her and her peers were drawing explicit images on each others' shirts.

The journalist, 47, shared the experience whilst on Rhod Gilbert's Growing Pains. The Comedy Central show sees guests discuss their teenage years with comedian Rhod, 54.

BBC Breakfast presenter Naga featured on the latest episode of the show and recalled getting in trouble for drawing penises on her classmates' t-shirts at school.

Rhod asked: "Weren't you expelled or suspended or something [for drawing d***s at school]?" Naga explained the story in response to the question from the host.

She said: "Look, it was the last day of school. It's when you cut loose and all sign each other's shirts." She said they'd "draw pictures" too and it led to her getting "expelled".

Naga - who is understood to have attended Graveney School in Tooting - continued: "So I got expelled for ... the shirt I still do have in a cupboard. We would draw big penises and boobs and periods on the shirts."

The episode also saw Naga describe herself as having been a "straight A student" whilst at school. And she further commented about her past: "The teachers did like me."

She however added that "no one" fancied her. This prompted Rhod to bring up that she used to write 'love letters' to a pal, though she dismissed that they were such.

"Well, you call the love letters," she began. Naga continued: "I loved Prince and [so did my friend]. So we used to write these letters to each other with all Prince lyrics".

The experience was referred to as "cute" by comedian Sarah Callaghan. Fellow guest Josh Jones instead wondered if they ever ran out of lyrics, to which Naga said they didn't.

Naga recited one of the letters whilst on the show. It featured lyrics from the song Get Off - released in 1991 - which she described to host Rhod as a "great tune".

She recalled that the letters were from an era when there wasn't social media and texting. Josh teased that it wasn't a "valid excuse" for the letter, which he dubbed "insane".

The episode - which was the finale of the show's fourth series - is scheduled to be repeated tomorrow (November 20) from 12am on Comedy Central Xtra.
