Conversation on Saturday’s BBC Breakfast was inevitably dominated by the Tory leadership race as the country awaits its next prime minister following Liz Truss’ resignation. But with many newspaper headlines focussing on the possibility of Boris Johnson’s potential return and whoever else will put themselves forward, Naga Munchetty shared with co-host Charlie Stayt another story which had caught her eye.
“Let me talk to you about something completely different,” Naga said to Charlie as they perused the day’s papers. “Now look, those with a sensitive nature may not enjoy this story.”
“Is it a look away now moment?” Charlie asked as Naga continued: “Well, you say look away now, that’s quite an apt thing to say.
“I sympathise with this woman because this has happened to me, not to the same extent,” Naga went on as she held the newspaper clipping aloft.
Explaining what exactly she wanted to share, she asked Charlie: “You don’t wear contact lenses, do you? I wear contact lenses and they can sometimes get lost in the eye.

“Very, very rarely but sometimes it does and it can be very painful. I’ve had one lost in my eye, a woman has had 23 disposable contact lenses removed from her eye, okay?”
Delving further into the story, Naga commented: “The woman was in her 70s and was avoiding visits – this is a lesson to see your doctor if you’ve got a problem, right?
“She’d been avoiding visits with her eyes doctor because she feared being infected with Covid.
“But then she’s told this story that she went in and she felt something foreign in her right eye. She managed to find a few of them, get them from her eye, and then spotted more of them.
“Mine went into the back and it is so painful because you can feel it scratching, but can you imagine 23?”
An uneasy Gavin replied: “I used to wear them on nights out, coloured ones on nights out, back in the day this is, and I saw it slip around the side after I forgot to take them out. It was horrible, yeah.”
“He knows how to live,” Naga joked after her co-star’s “night out” confession before she added: “Beware because as people get older, if you wear contact lenses for ages they can desensitise the eye.
“But as people get older, the socket of the upper lid becomes really deep and so these contact lenses hid ‘like a stack of pancakes’.”
