The short style may not allow for much in the way of variation but certainly suits the journalist and shows off her pretty features.

However, when she was a teenager, Naga did embrace longer locks, and in a throwback picture, she had a head of curls that hung around her face.

In the picture, Naga smiled for the camera and wore a dark coloured scoop neck top and long necklace.

The image was first shown last year during an appearance on Rhod Gilbert's Growing Pains.

Her fellow guests on the show told her she looked "stunning" and as though she'd walked "straight off a catwalk".

As they looked at the photo, Naga opened up on a difficult part of her school journey.

Speaking on the Comedy Central show, Naga admitted: "So [I was] a straight A student, the teachers did like me, you know, a musician, lardy-dardy dah, so really annoying, right.

"But no one fancied me."

Talk quickly turned however to Naga's attempts to capture the affections of one boy in her school by writing him a series of love letters.

Naga recalled: "We used to write these letters.

"This is how sad I was right, so I loved Prince and he loved Prince, and so we used to write these letters to each other with all Prince lyrics in them."

In a shock twist, Naga revealed she still had the letters to this day and even whipped them out on the show, leaving the panel stunned.
