BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty has warned her fans about a fake account impersonating her on Instagram.
Taking to her Instagram page, the journalist shared a screenshot of the account, which shared a similar username to Naga and has a photo of the presenter as the profile picture.
Naga captioned the post: "This account is not mine. It is impersonating me. My account is @tvnaga."
Fans were quick to react to Naga's warning, with some recognising the false profile. One person wrote: "Yes I got a request but knew it was fake," while another added: "Yes Naga, I got a request to follow it but I knew straight away it's not you."

Another fan couldn't help but mention Naga's recent appearance as guest host on the BBC quiz show, Have I Got News For You. Praising her presenting skills, they wrote: "Not relevant to this program, however, did want to say I watched you on Have I Got News For You… thought you chaired it [excellently]. Witty, funny, tongue in cheek. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Wish it was a regular gig."
The episode, which aired on Friday 2 June, saw Naga present the programme, joined on the panel by former leader of the Scottish Conservative Party, Ruth Davidson, and regular team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton.
Naga was widely praised by viewers for her appearance on the show, with many calling for the journalist to become a permanent host.
One viewer tweeted: "Naga as permanent host please. Brilliantly funny with great chemistry with Paul and Ian," while another wrote: "Give the person who thought of getting Naga to host a raise – absolutely excellent choice."
While Naga has clearly been busy with various TV stints in recent weeks, she can regularly be seen hosting BBC Breakfast from Thursday to Saturday each week alongside Charlie Stayt.
