BBC Breakfast shock as Naga Munchetty replaced with new presenter with a huge twist

BBC BREAKFAST viewers were left stunned this morning as a new presenter took over hosting duties.

The flagship programme is usually presented by Naga Munchetty, Charlie Stayt, Jon Kay and Sally Nugent.

However, all four of the journalists were nowhere to be seen as the show came on air.

Instead they've been replaced by a brand new presenter - Ben Boulos.

The BBC journalist is presenting from the red sofa for the very first time.

He took viewers through the latest news as well as a segment on Christmas Day television.

In a big change to the show's format Boulos fronted the programme alone, instead of with a co-presenter.

Ben couldn't hide his excitement and took to social media to share the news as well as a snap from the iconic set.

He posted: "Guessing you’ve figured it out by now!

"Very excited to be presenting #BBCBreakfast @BBCBreakfast for the first time this morning. More coming up at 8am."

BBC News fans may recognise Ben as he's a regular presenter for BBC World News.

Viewers have enjoyed his hosting style as one said on social media: "You're doing well and looking great."

Another said: "A belated Christmas gift to your viewers, @BenMBoulos . It's always a delight to see you on telly!"

"Fabulous!!!… a great call for you. As so often, it’s tough news. Always your sensitivity Ben. Thank you," posted a third.

BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One and iPlayer.
