BBC Breakfast presenters Dan Walker and Sally Nugent were left emotional as weathergirl Carol Kirkwood opened up about a sweet gesture made to her mum.On Monday (April 25), Carol revealed that she and her siblings had an adorable surprise for when her mum turned 70.Sally began the conversation by saying: "Later on in the programme we're going to be talking about how everybody in their homes now, they like quite a minimalist look. Not too much clutter, not too many ornaments, no knick-knacks."Apparently, one of the things that's really gone out of fashion - garden gnomes.

BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty, 47, was left feeling very amused after she and co-host Ben Thompson cut to Morning Live to find out what was on Friday’s show.Presenters Sara Cox and Gethin Jones introduced chef Anna Haugh who would be showing viewers how to cook asparagus in a variety of ways.As the broadcast returned to the Breakfast studio, Naga couldn’t help but poke fun at the segment.She probed: “Sara, Gethin, have you had the conversation about asparagus amongst the team this morning?”Sara swiftly responded with: “Yes we have, thank you Naga.” And Naga asked: “Any no's? The no's always surprise me.”The BBC Radio Two presenter added: “Apparently the no’s are not true, it's just that they can’t smell it.” To which Gethin cheekily chimed in: “I’m a yes.”Naga then exclaimed: “We didn’t ask what you were!”Sara then reposted the clip to her 859,000 Twitter followers, and couldn’t help but make a pun of her own as she called out Naga.She wrote: “As usual Naga being a wee bit mischievous #Asparagus.”Naga promptly responded in the comments, saying: “Have no idea what you mean...” along with a laughing emoji.The presenters were likely referring to the fact that eating asparagus leaves people's urine with a strong smell, however, not everyone is able to detect it.The exchange came as Naga returned to the BBC Breakfast sofa after being absent for two weeks.She had been replaced by the channel’s weekend presenter, Rachel Burden, before her return on Thursday alongside Charlie Stayt.It is likely that Naga took some time off over the Easter break, but that didn’t stop fans being concerned that she had left permanently following the departure of co-stars Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.Naga liked a number of messages on

BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker left his colleagues fairly amused on Wednesday morning after he admitted that he enjoys taking the bins out.The 45-year-old who is often open about his pursuits outside of his BBC role couldn't help but make the odd confession in front of his co-host Nina Warhurst and sports journalist John Watson.But his admission appeared to amuse Nina and John as they seemed perplexed that he would enjoy such a job.Talking about taking the bins outside, Nina questioned Dan and said: "Did you just it's one of your favourite jobs, why?" Dan replied: "I just love it!" Nina giggled: "Because it's short."

BBC Breakfast on Sunday (April 17), with her co-star notably absent from the BBC studios.Regular viewers of the news programme will know that the show is usually fronted by two anchors, with the likes of Jon Kay, Roger Johnson, Victoria Derbyshire or Katherine Downes appearing alongside a colleague.The Sunday edition of the programme doesn't normally see the main anchors, Naga Munchetty, Charlie Stayt or Sally Nugent take their place on the sofa.However, as viewers tuned in on Easter Sunday (April 17), they were somewhat perplexed to see the sofa looking emptier than usual. Business presenter and stand-in presenter, Nina Warhurst, 41, sat alone on the sofa as she delivered the day's news, including the latest on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's appearance in The Hague.

BBC BREAKFAST viewers were left shocked as Carol Kirkwood AND Naga Munchetty were mysteriously missing on Friday's episode. This week Charlie Stayt was joined by Rachel Burden once again as Naga whereabouts are still unknown.

BBC Breakfast host Charlie Stayt found himself rather upset during a music festival row in the studio on Monday.Hosting the programme alongside his temporary co-presenter Rachel Burden - with Naga Munchetty absent once again - Charlie was forced to turn his attention to the realm of the music fest in a rather unexpected segment.The pair were discussing the relocation of various moving sculptures from Nevada's Blackrock Desert Burning Man festival to the genteel estate of Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.The estate will be putting the incredible artworks on display for all to see in praise of the arts and culture festival thousands of miles away.Rachel began the segment by teasing Charlie: "Now, if you don’t think you’re gonna make it to the Burning Man festival in Nevada this year...

BBC Breakfast presenter Rachel Burden has been making waves on the morning programme ever since she replaced Naga Munchetty for the first time.The star has been sitting alongside regular host Charlie Stayt for the past few weeks - leaving fans baffled as to why Naga is absent, especially after her social media silence.It comes amid numerous shake-ups on the red sofa, with Dan Walker recently announcing his intention to quit the programme for a job at rival network Channel 5.Rachel, however, hasn’t avoided scrutiny on the programme, and came under fire for halting a harrowing interview on air for a rather odd reason.Rachel was chatting to former male model Norman Scott about his past relationship with Liberal MP Jeremy Thorpe, which ended in a badly planned conspiracy by the politician to murder his lover.82-year-old Norman bravely opened up on the assassination plot against him - during which Rachel randomly interrupted to announce the time.She said: "At this point, and it seems like a strange point to say this pause, we just need to tell you the time. It's 8.59 and you're watching BBC Breakfast."We just need to allow that to happen so we can carry on with the story now."But what about Rachel’s life away from the cameras? Daily Star takes a look.In June last year, Rachel found herself suffering a horror injury after a game of football gone wrong.The star turned to Instagram to share a snap of her right ankle encased in a heavy duty black boot strapped with velcro, explaining that she had managed to chip some of the bone away with her injury.She told fans: “Well this is me for the next 6 weeks.

BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty was nowhere to be seen this week, after being replaced by stand-in host Rachel Burden.Rachel could be seen alongside regular presenter Charlie Stayt on the red sofa on Thursday (April 14), while Naga has been conspicuously absent from the show for more than a week.Last week, Rachel was in line to take Naga's place, with the star once again missing.So far she hasn't spoken out about her absence, with her last Twitter post being to congratulate her BBC co-star on his new job as Political Editor.Chris Mason was announced as the formal replacement for Laura Kuenssberg yesterday. It comes just weeks after her co-star Dan Walker quit the show for good in favour of a new job with rival network Channel 5, announcing: "Hello, Dan Walker here.

Carol Kirkwood, 59, has hit back at Dan Walker after he made a joke about her getting a new job on BBC Breakfast.Some viewers have been speculating that the weather presenter is set to replace Dan after he announced his departure from the show earlier this month.Making a dig at the rumours, Dan took to Twitter to congratulate his co-star on her “new job” in view of his 753,000 followers.He shared a picture of Carol from an article covering the rumours, which had been captioned: “Fans think Carol Kirkwood could replace the star.”Dan wrote: “Good morning Carol. All the best with your new job.”Carol simply exclaimed in response: “NAUGHTY!!” alongside a string of laughing and kissing emojis.The BBC weather presenter had previously addressed the ongoing speculation herself on the social media platform after fans asked whether she was set to step in.Twitter user Sent159 asked: “Good morning Carol and where r u going ..” (sic)Carol responded: “Nowhere!!! Very much staying on @BBCBreakfast Gavin x.”Dan recently announced he will be stepping away from the BBC after hosting BBC Breakfast since 2016.The presenter has decided to join Channel 5 as a lead anchor on the recently re-launched hour-long 5pm news bulletin.Channel 5 confirmed the news on Twitter last week along with a short one minute video featuring Dan.The broadcaster announced:  "Some news to share with you all from us at  @5_News."@mrdanwalker will be bringing you the news at 5pm every day from now on."And he's got something to tell you all - watch his video down below."In the clip, Dan appeared in good spirits as he explained: "Hello, Dan Walker here.

BBC Breakfast hosts Sally Nugent and Jon Kay were left outraged as weather presenter Carol Kirkwood landed herself a new job.The presenters were hosting from the studio on Wednesday (April 13), with Carol armed with a clicker and green screen to give the meteorological report for the week ahead.But things quickly turned sour as Jon and Sally joined the Morning Live studio via video link to see what was coming up in the programme at 9:15am.During the link-up, Sally announced: "Let's find out what they have for us this morning with Kym [Marsh] and Gethin [Jones]. Morning guys!"The pair then explained what lay ahead, including discussions of the energy crisis and sinusitis symptom management.Kym then revealed: "We could be in for a treat with the weather this Bank Holiday, fingers crossed! Legendary weather presenter Carol Kirkwood tells us why temperatures are set to be hotter than Majorca, thanks to some Saharan gusts!"But Sally and Jon clearly weren't chuffed to see their beloved co-star appearing on another programme, as Sally snapped: "Hands off Carol Kirkwood, she's ours! What's she doing on Morning Live?"Jon interjected: "She's moonlighting! Carol! We'll hear from Carol in a few minutes with the weather..."Even her co-star Dan Walker chimed in on Twitter, sharing a sweet snap of Carol with the caption: "Good morning Carol.
