BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt replaced by co-stars in shake-up

BBC Breakfast has faced yet another shake-up this week as two of the show’s regular presenters were replaced by their co-stars

Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt were noticeably absent from Thursday’s BBC Breakfast, leading to another presenter shake-up.

Sarah Campbell and Roger Johnson hosted Thursday’s edition of the show. Alongside them were regulars Mike Bushell, who delivered sports updates, and Carol Kirkwood, who presented the weather forecast.

While Roger frequently covers weekends when Naga or Charlie are not available, he surprised viewers by appearing on Monday’s programme with Sally Nugent, sparking a mix-up among the audience.

Jon Kay typically co-hosts with Sally from Monday to Wednesday, leaving Naga and Charlie to lead the latter part of the week.

Confused fans expressed their surprise online, with one viewer commenting on X (previously known as Twitter ), “Damn! I thought it was Sunday for a minute.. What’s Roger Local doing on Breakfast this morning?” reports Lancs Live.

Another lightly teased: “I’d rather have Roger than dad joke Jon.”

Roger has continued to present the week’s subsequent shows, partnering with Sally again on Tuesday and sharing the screen with Nina Warhurst on Wednesday.

During Thursday’s show, Sarah briefly interrupted the broadcast to deliver “breaking news” about the UK’s economic performance.

New data released by the Office for National Statistics indicated that the UK’s economy had expanded by a mere 0.1 percent in November last year, marking the first sign of growth in a quarter. “It’s the thinnest of margins, and it’s below expectations,” commented Ben Boulos on the report.

The host highlighted that the modest uptick in GDP growth arrives at a delicate juncture, given the economy’s stagnation in the latter part of the previous year.

Reacting to these statistics, Chancellor Rachel Reeves has vowed to “fight every day to deliver”.

She elaborated: “I am determined to go further and faster to kickstart economic growth, which is the number one priority in our Plan for Change.”

BBC Breakfast airs daily at 6am on BBC One.
