BBC Breakfast Sally Nugent seen with head in hands after Carol Kirkwood announcement

Sally Nugent was missing from her usual spot on BBC Breakfast - just days after her pal Dan Walker quit the broadcaster.BBC star Sally normally hosts the flagship morning programme on week days, but viewers tuning in on Monday (May 30) might have been surprised to find she was nowhere to be seen.Instead, it was Sally's colleague Nina Warhurst who stepped in to replace her on the famous red sofa next to Jon Kay, who has been anchoring the show with Sally in Dan's absence.Nina works as a business and consumer presenter on Breakfast, but she also stars as a stand-in presenter.The BBC Breakfast team have a group of backup presenters who fill in for the regulars when needed - including Jon, Nina and Ben Thompson.It is not currently clear why Sally is absent from her usual presenting spot.It comes less than two weeks after Sally's former co-host Dan Walker anchored his last show on BBC Breakfast - which proved to be an emotional day for Sally and the team.Dan had hosted BBC Breakfast for six years, but his BBC career spanned a whopping 13 years in total.The TV presenter has now joined rival broadcaster Channel 5, where he's taken up a lead anchor role on 5 News.This is a live TV story and is being constantly updated.

BBC Breakfast host Charlie Stayt got a telling off from his co-star Naga Munchetty after he accused weather presenter Matt Taylor of leaving the set mid-report.On Thursday (May 26), Matt was busy reading the weather after the news of Carol Kirkwood's engagement was announced live on the programme earlier this week.Promising colder weather, Matt didn't have much good news to bring viewers - and Charlie was determined to press him further.Naga cheerily said: "Matt, thanks very much - we'll see you later!" as Charlie chipped in: "If you heard me mumbling there, I was asking about the Jubilee weekend weather, but Matt's gone now, has he?" as he disappeared from the screen.Naga was the first to correct Charlie as she insisted: "No, he's still there! Look, he's just stood back to attention!"Realising his error, Charlie agreed: "Oh, he's still there! There we are."He then asked: "Do we know yet, Matt, about the Jubilee weekend weather?" as Matt apologetically said: "Not quite yet. Next week's looking a little bit difficult.

I don't know how you're managing to stand up with that giant rock on your left hand, Carol!" as her co-star Jon Kay collapsed into giggles.Glancing down at her hand, Carol joked: "Oh, that one? Thank you Sal! It is rather nice, I got engaged."But it was Dan and Carol who became entrenched in an awkward moment.Dan posted a Google screenshot showing various news headlines - and it looked like a cache error had given one article the wrong picture to accompany the headline, which read: "Yorkshire newlyweds turned away from honeymoon flight 25 minutes before departure."Next to the article was a picture of Dan and Carol engaged in one of her "headlock hugs".Laughing off the blunder, Dan joked on Twitter: "Well… this is awkward.
