BBC Breakfast's Dan Walker reaches out after Chris Kamara shares apraxia diagnosis

GOOD Morning Britain viewers hoping to see Richard Madeley back on the show today were left disappointed. Despite the presenter normally having Thursdays off, the 65-year-old only worked two days this week as he was replaced by Martin Lewis yesterday.

Dan Walker has explained his absence from BBC Breakfast as fans beg the Strictly star to return to the morning news show. Over the past week, the broadcaster has been taking a much-needed break from the beloved BBC show to take part in a charity golf tour held in Mauritius.

Piers Morgan has insisted he's "aging like a fine wine" after his wife Celia Walden sent him a cheeky birthday message on Instagram.The former Good Morning Britain host was celebrating his 58th birthday on Wednesday (March 30) when he received a message from his stunning wife Celia, who also happens to be a prominent journalist.However, it's clear Celia wasn't afraid to offer up some brutally-honest words for her spouse on his special day.Taking to Instagram, Celia shared a sweet throwback snap of her and her hubby Piers looking glam on a romantic night out together.Piers could be seen sporting a smart shirt and jacket combo, whereas Celia looked gorgeous in a dazzling red dress.Wishing her husband a happy birthday, Celia couldn't resist taking a cheeky dig at the TV presenter's age by telling him he was "only as old as the woman you feel", referring of course to her.By doing so, Celia was poking fun at herself as she suggested she wasn't "that young" herself.She wrote: "Happy Birthday Mr Morgan.

BBC Breakfast's Jon Kay took a step away from the norm this week as he revealed a rare detail about his family life.The presenter, who this week is standing in for Dan Walker, tends to keep his cards close to his chest when it comes to his private life - and little is known about Jon away from the programme.But during a chat with his co-star Nina Warhurst - who replaced Sally Nugent on Wednesday (March 30) - it emerged that Jon actually has teenage children.The pair were reading through the papers of the day when Nina pointed to an article on social media, which revealed that plenty of young people have fake social media accounts to fool their parents.And she was quick to admit the news was "frightening", beginning: "I like this story, and I’m frightened of it.

BBC Breakfast fans were left baffled this week, as both regular presenters were replaced in a major show shake-up.On Wednesday (March 30), Sally Nugent was missing from the show, with Nina Warhurst stepping up to the red sofa in her place.Typically, Breakfast is presented by Dan Walker and Sally from Mondays to Wednesdays, while Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty take over the rest of the week.But her permanent co-star Dan has also been absent from Breakfast throughout the week - as he is busy taking some time off and improving his golf game. Temporary presenter Jon Kay was thankfully able to make it in his place.Sally, however, hasn't yet offered an explanation on social media as to why she wasn't on set on Wednesday.Fans were left confused by the replacement, and took to Twitter to share their confusion - and a lot of support for Nina.One wrote: "NINA! thank god going to enjoy Breakfast this morning, nothing against Jon, but miss DAN!"Someone else said: "Nina you're made for this job of morning presenter!""@BBCBreakfast you're a breath of fresh air this morning Nina," another keen fan added.This is a live TV story and is constantly being updated.Please refresh the page regularly to get the latest TV updates.TV & Showbiz reporters are working to source the latest information, reaction, pictures and video related to this story.
