Fans of Naga Munchetty, 46, know how much of a golf nut she is, so when Alan Carr made a joke about the sport so dear to her heart, she wasn’t too impressed. So much so, that she branded the comedian unfunny in all respects.
Chatting on his Life’s A Beach podcast, Alan wondered what it is about golf that she loves so much.
Any true golfer understands that it’s a very love/hate relationship but it was the latter that the comedian seemed to resonate with the most.
“Now, you love golf… why?” he giggled cheekily.
Before Naga could reply, Alan continued: “I don’t get it!”

He then made a list of what happens when golfers turn up at a course, while also making a joke that went right over the BBC Breakfast presenter’s head.
“I turn up at a links course [the oldest style of golf course], I’ve got my move v-neck, my pink cheque slacks, I’ve got my loafers.
“I change into my golf gear… what’re we doing?”
Naga paused for second before replying, sounding slightly confused: “I thought you were in the golf gear already?”
“Unless they’re talking in your back-swing, and the answer to that is, ‘Is my golf interrupting your conversation?'”
Alan winced at the thought of Naga getting confrontational, saying: “Ooo, you’d say that to people?”
“Yes,” she replied, “I said that to someone the other week.
“I don’t like people talking while I’m playing golf, not while I’m taking my shot!”
