She explained on Breakfast in April: “At this moment I’m injured. My foot is injured and I’ve had to walk very very slow…it was very bad for about six weeks, I’ve been limping and walking.”
When asked about how she did it, Naga joked: “I injured it by kicking someone who gave me unsolicited advice.”
It comes after she confirmed some huge career news to her legion of fans after she was noticeably absent from Breakfast.
The journalist said that she’s finished her first-ever book, It’s Probably Nothing: Critical Conversations On The Women’s Health Crisis.
In the book, Naga probes deep into the systemic obstacles women encounter in healthcare. Naga’s personal battle with adenomyosis inspired her to spotlight the issue.

She announced: “It’s Probably Nothing is an exploration of the wide range of healthcare difficulties women face. In it, I share my own experiences as well as those of many others, speaking to doctors and experts every step of the way. Pre-order now.”
Naga’s book is slated for release across hardback, e-book and audiobook formats come April 24, 2025.
The NHS clarifies that adenomyosis is where the uterus lining grows into the uterine muscle wall, an ordeal that Naga candidly discussed in 2023 on her Radio 5 Live broadcast.
Naga recounted her ordeal of enduring persistent pain, only to be repeatedly brushed off by doctors. Frustrated and desperate for answers, she turned to private medical care, which ultimately led to her formal diagnosis.
In a testimony to MPs in 2023, Naga revealed her decades-long struggle to secure help for adenomyosis, which left her in excruciating pain since the age of 15, recalling a harrowing incident where her husband had to call an ambulance due to the severity of her condition.
Appearing before the Commons Women and Equalities Committee, she recounted the dismissive attitude of healthcare professionals, who consistently told her to simply “suck it up”.
She expressed her frustration, stating there was a “constant, ‘You’re fine, everyone else is putting up with this, why can’t you?”‘
She acknowledged that she is “fortunate enough to be able to have private healthcare”, and it was the “only time I felt I could sit there and take time and force an issue, force understanding, force explanations from my gynaecologist and not feel bad that I was taking up more than 10 minutes of my GP’s time because there was a queue of people in the waiting room”.
