BBC Breakfast star Charlie Stayt became frustrated with co-star Naga Munchetty as he attempted to tackle a Christmas challenge.

On Thursday (December 14) morning, Naga explained that GCHQ releases an annual Christmas challenge ever year which aims to test people's problem solving skills. This is the third edition of the challenge and has been designed around a Christmas card sent by Anne Keast-Butler.

The new head of the intelligence agency has set the "trickiest Christmas challenge so far" which is aimed at children between 11 and 18, featuring puzzles, codebreaking and maths. During today's instalment of the show, Naga revealed a bonus challenge was set exclusively for BBC Breakfast and Charlie would be attempting to solve it.

He was given three clues with five letter answers which would lead him to working out the mystery answer. As the camera cut back to Naga and Charlie in the studio, he was putting pen to paper but quickly became frustrated with his co-star.

"I was actually trying to do it then and you were just constantly telling me I was getting it wrong," he said. "I was writing things down and you were literally saying, 'No that's not right, no that's not right'."

Naga admitted she was trying to be helpful by giving him the answers. She pointed at his piece of paper claiming: "Because that's not right."

Charlie snapped back: "Well I've got to try. It's not helpful is it?" Taking a cheeky swipe at her co-host, Naga continued: "We can break down the BBC Breakfast puzzle… again."

Naga went over the clues once again, explaining if you answer all four correctly then the mystery festive answer should appear. "Does that make sense Charlie? You're huffing," the news anchor claimed.

The presenter responded: "Ben's coming to do business here and he's going to come in and say he knows all the answers." Naga hit back: "Well he probably does know all the answers. There's nothing wrong with knowing the answers."

Charlie demanded: "Well give people a chance to think for a moment." But Naga was quick to remind Charlie that he's had 24 hours to solve the puzzle. The BBC Radio 5 Live host explained they would be welcoming maths teacher and puzzle enthusiast Bobby Seagull later in the programme.

"I suppose he knows the answer does he?" Charlie hit out. Naga responded: "Of course Bobby knows the answers. Everyone knows the answers." In one final swipe, Charlie replied: "They think they do."
