BBC presenter Naga Munchetty has shared a huge career announcement.
The TV star is known for hosting BBC Breakfast alongside co-star Charlie Stayt from Thursday to Saturday each week. Earlier this year, Naga sparked concern among her fans as she was absent from her shows and was replaced by colleague Nina Warhurst. However, it seems she was busy with her new career move.
Naga has revealed she's completed her debut book after deciding to venture into the literary world. Her book has been titled It’s Probably Nothing: Critical Conversations On The Women’s Health Crisis. It sees Naga delve into the systemic healthcare challenges faced by women.
The presenter was prompted to investigate the subject following her own experience with adenomyosis. Announcing her news, Naga said: "It’s Probably Nothing is an exploration of the wide range of healthcare difficulties women face. In it, I share my own experiences as well as those of many others, speaking to doctors and experts every step of the way. Pre-order now."
Her book will be released in hardback, e-book, and audiobook form on April 24, 2025. According to the NHS, adenomyosis is a condition where the lining of the womb starts growing into the muscle in the wall of the womb. Naga opened up about the condition in 2023 on her BBC Radio 5 Live show.

In order to get her formal diagnosis, Naga opted to seek private medial care after being told to "suck it up" for years. Naga shared: "It’s becoming increasingly clear that women, and those who love women, need to know how to fight for their health and arm themselves with the right tools to do that effectively.
"I’m passionate about writing a book that can help women. It’s time our health is taken seriously." Her book combines her own stories, interviews and medical research to create a resource aimed at supporting women in managing their health throughout different stages of life.
She previously shared: "Using extensive interviews and medical evidence, as well as my own experience getting diagnosed with adenomyosis, I have aimed to put together a handbook for women at every stage of their lives that will help them get the care they deserve."
In 2023, Naga told MPs how she struggled to get help from the age of 15 for adenomyosis, which left her in such agony that at one point her husband called an ambulance for her. Speaking to the Commons Women and Equalities Committee, she said she was consistently told to "just to 'suck it up".
She said there was a "constant, 'You're fine, everyone else is putting up with this, why can't you?"' Admitting she is "fortunate enough to be able to have private healthcare", she said it was the "only time I felt I could sit there and take time and force an issue, force understanding, force explanations from my gynaecologist and not feel bad that I was taking up more than 10 minutes of my GP's time because there was a queue of people in the waiting room".
