BBC Breakfast star Naga Munchetty issued a warning to viewers as she insisted that they should 'leave the room'

The TV star, 49, returned to our TV screens on Saturday morning as she took on hosting duties alongside co-star Charlie Stayt and talk soon turned to last night's Celebrity MasterChef final.

Winner of the BBC hit cooking competition was minutes away from joining the presenting duo but Naga warned viewers who didn't get a chance to watch the show to 'turn the telly down' to avoid spoilers.

Naga went on to say: "If you are a fan of Celebrity Masterchef and you didn't watch last night's final this is your warning to look away, leave the room and turn the telly down because after six weeks the winner."

The host took a long pause as she continued: "I'm about to say it, the winner was Strictly Come Dancing professional Vito Coppola, who wowed the judges with his Italian dish."

Viewers were then shown the emotional moment Vito was crowned winner after the nail-biting final. The dancer beat out Line Of Duty's Rochenda Sandall and This Morning's Craig Doyle.

Charlie started off by saying: "Can we first of all say congratulations. How does it feel?"

Vito couldn't contain his excitement as he had a huge smile on his face and said: "Thank you so much, I feel like when you're a kid and you have all the butterflies in your stomach and that's how I felt the entire MasterChef journey."

He continued: "Every night before every challenge I couldn't sleep because I was so excited and that is me today and I feel like in a good way overwhelmed and I get emotional every single time, it feels like a dream. Sometimes I pinch myself because it's just amazing."


While holding his trophy, Vito revealed that it is going to be kept at his grandparents house in Italy, He said: "For now it's here but because I have my brother and my cousin here with me, I will give it to them because it deserves to be with my family in Italy. So it's going to go all the way to Italy and probably stay at my grandparents house."

Vito used his family heritage to bring a unique twist to his cooking during the final but he admitted that they've never trusted him when it comes to cooking.

He added: "I made a deal with my grandmother and she said if I'm going on the show to make her proud she will allow me to cook one meal next Christmas."
