BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty has shared a new project she’s authored away from the show.
The broadcaster and former Strictly Come Dancing star has written a book called It’s Probably Nothing, in which she denounces the healthcare obstacles women have historically faced when trying to get diagnosed and treated.
In the book, Munchetty included her own experiences dealing with healthcare providers as well as those of other patients.

“IT’S PROBABLY NOTHING is an exploration of the wide range of healthcare difficulties women face,” she wrote on Twitter/X and Instagram while revealing the cover of the book, which is expected to hit shelves in May 2025.
“In it, I share my own experiences as well as those of many others, speaking to doctors and experts every step of the way,” she added.
It’s Probably Nothing is available for pre-order now from Amazon.
Last year, the journalist told BBC Radio5 Live listeners that she had been diagnosed with adenomyosis, a womb condition that arises when endometrial tissue grows into the muscular walls of the uterus. This causes an array of symptoms including heavy bleeding during menstruations and pelvic cramps, with Munchetty saying she was in “constant, nagging pain” as a result of the condition.

Adenomyosis can affect anyone who has periods, but is more likely to affect individuals over the age of 30, according to the NHS.
“I went through this for 32 years before being diagnosed,” Naga discussed further in an interview with The Independent. “Even then, there is no, like, cure.”
Munchetty’s first book isn’t her only new career move this year. She previously joined BBC Radio 5 Live‘s Must Watch podcast as its new host together TV critic Scott Bryan and journalist Hayley Campbell. She also presents the mid-morning programme on the same station.
