The 45-year-old news presenter - who starred on 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2016 - has insisted she's open to "constructive criticism" online, but she's completely intolerant of abusive behaviour

Speaking about her approach to her work, Naga shared: "The only reason to be nervous is if you don't know your stuff, if you haven't prepared and if you haven't done everything you can to make sure you have the answers.

"If you've done your side of the work, that takes nervousness out of it. When you talk about the storm, I hate injustice, I get so angry if people aren't fair.

"I have no issue with being criticised, [if] I am being told off by my boss for doing something wrong, absolutely not a problem."

However, Naga revealed she draws a line at abusive comments on social media.

She told the 'Her Spirit' podcast: "I don't mind if on social media there is constructive criticism like, 'I feel you didn't ask this question, I feel like you didn't push that hard enough' - that's fine.

"When someone abuses me, I'm going to come back at them with two barrels, I'm just not having it. I am not there to be abused when I'm doing my job."

Earlier this year, Naga admitted she doesn't think she makes a "great first impression".

The presenter confessed it often takes time for people to warm to her personality.

She shared: "[I always assume] that people don't like me. It's a really weird thing."

Asked whether she's always felt like that, Naga explained: "Yeah, probably. I think I grow on people.

"I don't think I make a great first impression. I'm comfortable with that. I think people see a loud person who's opinionated and not afraid to say what she thinks."
