BBC Breakfast were down to just one host on Sunday's episode (June 12) after Roger Johnson had to swiftly make an exit for work purposes.With 14 minutes left on clock, stand-in presenter Tina Daheley was left to go it alone after her co-star had to dip out to read the news elsewhere.Holding the fort, Tina did a splendid job wrapping up the remainder of the show without the assistance of a co-presenter at her side.Updating viewers on the schedule switch up, Tina explained: "And on that note, this is where we say goodbye to you Roger."He chirped back: "Yes I am off. Thanks for watching and have a great day.""You're off to read the news," interjected Tina, before heading over to a last look at the weather with Chris Fawkes.It isn't the first time the show has been short on staff during the weekend presenting shifts after Katherine Downes abandoned the set back in January.Much like Roger, Katherine had also faced issues with a conflicting schedule and was given no choice but to make an early departure from the show.This meant that host Chris Mason was left alone to take the reigns - much like Tina on today's programme.At the time, Chris explained that his co-star's hectic work schedule - which included a flight to China - had been to blame for her sudden disappearance.

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 star Katherine Downes was left insulted during her Winter Olympics coverage, as a crew member likened her head to a 'mushroom'.The star, who sometimes steps in for Sally Nugent or Naga Munchetty on the red sofa, was presenting her daily sports segment from Beijing - but a question from Naga left her reeling.Katherine looked cosy despite the wintery chill settling over the mountains, rocking a thick black waterproof jacket and brown-and-beige bobble hat while clutching her bright yellow BBC Sport microphone.Her wavy brunette tresses were just visible underneath the chunky woollen hat, which looked like it was doing a good job at keeping the cold out.It all kicked off, though, as Naga wondered: "Impressive bobble hat! How many have you got, and are you all [presenters] having a bobble hat off?"Katherine admitted: "Well I went to PyeongChang four years ago with two bobble hats, and that was a mistake. Because it turns out you're on TV every single day and you want a bit of variety!"She went on to explain: "So I've brought seven bobble hats with me out to Beijing.

BBC Breakfast star Chris Mason had to go it alone on Sunday's programme after his co-star Katherine Downes abandoned the set before the programme had finished.With just ten minutes to go, Chris was left to hold the fort on his own on the red sofa after Katherine, 39, took off to present the news on Sunday Morning.Addressing Katherine's early departure Chris explained that his co-star's hectic schedule had been to blame for her sudden disappearance.The 41-year-old host explained that Katherine wouldn't be staying until the end of the show because she had other work commitments - including grabbing a flight to China.After the sports update, Chris told viewers at home: "This is the point where we say goodbye to Kat who is off to read the news for Sunday Morning."And then is heading to the winter Olympics."Interjecting, busy Katherine added: "I am, I'll be on a flight tomorrow morning."Off to Beijing so I’ll be speaking to you on BBC Breakfast from China."Katherine tearfully tweeted a snap of her with her Breakfast co-hosts before her departure: "Spending Beijing-eve with these gents. And then home for as much time with my babies as I can cram in.

BBC Breakfast host Katherine Downes left her co-star Chris Mason "stunned to silence" after she rudely told him "sort out your dating profile". The 39-year-old host followed up with: "That's why you're not getting any dates", as they discussed bad grammar and acronyms.
