  Sir David Attenborough put BBC Breakfast host Naga Muchetty well and truly in her place in a blunt interview branded a “cringe fest” by viewers
   Fans of the early-morning show were left squirming on their sofas as the anchor asked all around the main subject of The Butterfly Count, much to the environmentalist’s sheer disapproval
   Broadcaster Naga was eager to eek as much general information out of the TV veteran as possible as she talked about his relationship with the Royal family, including his recent documentary with the Queen, via a live video link to the London Wetland Centre
   She also referred to his iconic Blue Planet 2 series and its focus on the damage caused by plastics, which has prompted a huge shift in consumer trends
   Yet none of this was of interest to the 92 year old, who is championing the nationwide summer survey for butterfly conservation
   He bluntly told Naga: “I wanted to talk about the big butterfly count, that’s why you invited me here.”    Naga then replied: “Of course, and we will do and we will continue to
 “We can’t resist the opportunity to talk about more because you’re so fondly held in many people’s hearts.   Undeterred she continued: “You recently had a discussion with the Queen - we’re very keen to know whether you discussed plastics when you did meet her
”    Unimpressed, Sir David replied: “No we did not. No we did not.”    Fans took to Twitter to comment on the edgy interview, with one commenting it was “very disrespectful
”    Another put: “Naga’s interview with David Attenborough there was quite the cringe-fest as she staggered through questions he was refusing to answer because they were unrelated to his current project
"   A third then surmised: “Naga Munchetty had a truly terrible interview with Sir David Attenborough.”
