Naga Munchetty has taken to Twitter to bid farewell to her BBC colleague Stephen Smith, who announced his exit from the corporation at the start of this week. The BBC Breakfast host was quick to pay tribute to her colleague, who she applauded as a “b****y decent person”.

Resharing Stephen’s post, Naga had her own message for the Newsnight Culture correspondent.
She told her 277,000 followers: “One of the best creative wordsmiths/journalists I’ve ever had the honour to work with.
“And above all, a b****y decent person.
“Good luck @StephenSmithBBC,” she added.
It comes after Stephen announced his exit from the Beeb in view of his 6,000 followers.
He penned: “Some professional news: and it’s goodnight from me for the last time @bbcnewsnight.
“What larks we had: Student House, Motorway Man, Big Society, Hitchhiker’s Guide to Brexit.
I was fortunate to meet a who’s who of everyone who matters in arts & culture, from Scorsese to Stormzy..
He continued: “..Dolly Parton to Tracey Emin, and other greats too numerous to mention.
“(Full list available on application).
“Thanks to the producers, camera crews and picture editors I worked with: at least they were (mostly) getting paid.
“Not so our long- suffering viewers… ..If you have been, thanks very much for watching, and see you around (more follows, as we old hacks say),” he ended his post.
Following Stephen’s announcement, his followers and colleagues flocked to the post to wish him well.
Radio 4’s Evan Davis wrote: “Stephen.. you are one of a kind. And also very kind. And funny. And knowledgeable.
“Such a pleasure to have been at Newsnight alongside you.”
BBC’s health reporter Jim Reed added: “Some of the best packages I’ve ever seen on Newsnight Steve. You’ll be missed.”
While @sandymatheson10 commented: “Very sad to see this. NN is further diminished without you!”
“Oh no! One of my favourite voices! All the best with whatever is next,” added @PhilJonesy3.
