BBC Breakfast in huge show shake-up as ‘missing’ Sally Nugent replaced by co-star

TV presenter Sally Nugent was missing from BBC Breakfast on Monday morning, with co-host Jon Kay fronting the hit show alongside Sarah Campbell in a huge shake-up

Sally Nugent was absent from BBC Breakfast during Monday’s (September 30) show.

Her co-host Jon Kay was instead joined by Sarah Campbell on the iconic red sofa, with the pair going through the day’s news together.

Sally, 53, usually hosts BBC Breakfast with Jon, 54, from Monday to Wednesday each week. However, she was nowhere to be seen on Monday morning. The star was also absent earlier in the month, having jetted off on holiday.

Sarah is a regular guest presenter on BBC Breakfast, having worked for the BBC for over 20 years. She is a Royal correspondent, but also regularly covers news segments across TV and radio.

Sally isn’t the only one who has been absent from BBC Breakfast recently, as her co-star Naga Munchetty has also been missing from the BBC show. She was away on 28 September, as she usually hosts Saturday mornings with colleague Charlie Stayt.

Instead, Nina Warhurst filled in for Naga, who was away for reasons not made public. Nina, 43, didn’t see eye-to-eye with her co-host Charlie while they discussed a new travel gadget on Saturday’s show.

The debate kicked off with Charlie confessing that the topic had “prompted a little discussion in the studio already”, which made Nina chuckle, possibly foreseeing the spirited exchange ahead. They were discussing a nifty device designed to let travellers keep tabs on their luggage mid-flight, something Charlie wasn’t too keen on.

“I don’t think I want a tracker in my bag,” he declared, prompting Nina to question, “Do you not?” Charlie elaborated: “Main reason because if you’re constantly tracking it and you can literally see you’re going one way and the luggage is going to a completely different place, I just think that’s really annoying to know.”

But Nina saw things differently, arguing: “But knowledge is power. Then you can get ahead of it, you know where it is.” To which Charlie sharply responded: “Well, not if you’re on a plane going one way and it’s on a plane going the other way. There’s nothing you can do.”

“You’re just going to spend eight hours thinking about the fact that when you land your luggage is not there,” he told her. But his co-host was having none of it, firmly retorting: “No, I’d rather know. I would rather know.”
