weekend presenter Rachel Burden on the red sofa instead of regular host Naga Munchetty.Burden appeared alongside Charlie Stayt, Munchetty's regular co-host with whom she fronts the show from Thursdays to Saturdays, with Dan Walker and Sally Nugent taking over from Monday to Wednesday.Munchetty's unexplained absence came in the wake of Dan Walker's announcement that he's quitting BBC Breakfast after six years to host Channel 5's new news show. Here's what we know about Naga's husband and background, including her upbringing and current age.

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 weather presenter Carol Kirkwood was missing from the iconic morning programme on Friday (April 15), just days after confirming she had landed a 'new job'.With hosts Charlie Stayt and Rachel Burden on the red sofa, Carol wasn't the only one missing from the show, as Naga Munchetty has also been taking a break for the Easter holidays.Dan Walker - who sensationally quit the BBC earlier this month in favour of a move to Channel 5 - has also been missing for the last two weeks, replaced by Jon Kay for his usual Monday to Wednesday stint.Carol was instead replaced by Sarah Keith-Lucas, who presented the meteorological report in her absence.She is one of several regular weather presenters, along with Matt Taylor and Owain Wyn Evans.But Sarah is rarely seen on air, last appearing on March 24. Fans were loving seeing her on the show, and took to Twitter to share their thoughts.One wrote: "Good morning Sarah you always do the weather with a smile xxx", as someone else chimed in: "Morning, seeing you this morning was beautiful enough Sarah!""Hey Sarah good morning to you looking very summery in your yellow dress.

BBC Breakfast presenter Sally Nugent has taken to Twitter to congratulate Chris Mason who is taking over the role of Political Editor at the BBC following Laura Kuenssberg's departure this Spring.The BBC presenter, 50, reacted to the news after it was announced by the BBC earlier today and along with her colleagues including Naga Munchetty and Laura herself.In view of her 144,200 followers, the co-host of BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker congratulated her colleague.Sally wrote: "Congratulations to the brilliant @ChrisMasonBBC."The star reposted a tweet by BBC Politics which announced the news earlier today.Sally's fellow BBC Breakfast co-star Naga Munchetty also commented following the announcement.Reacting to the news that Chris Mason will be taking up the post of Political Editor in May by the BBC News Press Team, Naga congratulated her colleague.She wrote: "Excellent news @ChrisMason BBC," along with a series of applauding hands.Laura too congratulated her replacement, writing on Twitter: "Huge congrats and welcome to the best daily job in the business, to colleague, great friend and of course #newscaster @ChrisMasonBBC."Last December, Laura confirmed she is stepping down as the BBC's political editor in April after seven years but she is staying with the corporation.In a statement, Laura said: "I've been so lucky to do the best daily reporting job in the business, with the best colleagues anyone could wish for."It's been incredible to occupy the chair during a time of such huge change and to try to make sense of it for our viewers, listeners and readers online."I'll miss the daily drama, and our wonderful team in Westminster, immensely."But after nearly seven years and what feels like decades' worth of headlines,

Dan Walker will soon bid farewell to his regular slot on the BBC Breakfast sofa - a role he has held since 2016.The news of his departure comes just months after Louise Minchin, 53, quit the news programme in September.The 45-year-old broadcaster has opened up about his exit in a new interview.The dad-of-three is set to leave the BBC for Channel 5 where he will replace Sian Williams on the network's daily news slot.But Dan has admitted that one person, in particular, was left slightly taken aback by the news of his exit from Breakfast.Sally Nugent, 50, a former sports presenter, has since taken the reins and began fronting the show earlier this year.The BBC Breakfast veteran admitted that his co-star was upset about the news of his departure.When asked what the reaction has been to his decision, Dan said: “It’s been lovely, apart from [co-host] Sally [Nugent], who is a bit upset.”The broadcaster was also quizzed on who could potentially replace him on the show.Dan revealed that he has not been made aware of who would be taking his place.Asked who might take over, Dan added to The Mirror: “I have no idea.

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.

BBC Breakfast descended into chaos on Wednesday (April 13) as Nina Warhurst 'disappeared' from the screen after nearly being run over by a trolley.Business correspondent Nina was reporting on the rising inflation rates from a busy warehouse in Birmingham - but nothing could have prepared her as she was almost swept off her feet by a passing worker, quite literally.With Jon Kay and Sally Nugent firmly on solid ground on the red sofa, they turned to Nina for the business news of the day - and it wasn't looking good.But as Nina concluded: "As we said earlier, the predictions from the Bank of England is that inflation will go even higher, higher than eight percent, in the coming months."They will potentially use interest rates in the meantime to bring it down."She added: "We get the latest figures at seven o'clock, as I said - expect it to go higher than six point seven percent. We'll be back with you then."In the background as Nina prepared to deliver her parting words to camera, a group of male workers could be seen chatting as one attempted to steer a pallet truck forward - right to where Nina was standing.They'd been waiting patiently for a few minutes while she chatted, but they seemed to sense the segment was over as she went to move out of the way, but not before showing herself on the TV screen behind them in a cheeky echo of BBC Breakfast.She said: "In the meantime, we'll probably just chill out and watch a bit of telly.
