She sat alongside Jon, 53, as they discussed today's headlines.

Jon returned today after taking time off for Christmas, with guest hosts standing in for him and Sally on Monday and Tuesday's programmes.

Nina's return comes after she told her followers why did not have the best Christmas this year.

While everyone else was enjoying their Christmas dinners - Nina was not.

Taking to Twitter, the 42-year-old revealed that she was suffering from a nasty bug.

She wrote: "Good morning from my kitchen where I’m recovering from a vomiting illness over Christmas and feel I owe it to myself to have this for breakfast."

Nina then posted a photo of an unwrapped Tobleronebar.

Fans rushed to comment and wish Nina a speedy recovery.

One said: "Good morning Nina, I’m glad you’re recovering now from your illness. Nothing wrong with a nice orange to help you recover, even if it’s of the chocolate variety."

Another tweeted: "A bit of chocolate vitamin C can only be a good thing Nina. Get it down ya, girl."

A third penned: "Oh! Sorry to hear you weren’t very well over Christmas, hopefully you are feeling better now."

Nina thanked her followers for their support.

She wrote: "Thank you for your very kind wishes. Full recovery complete and ready for BBC Breakfast tomorrow to share my full Christmas nutrition guide with Jon Kay."

Nina is married to husband Ted, who is reportedly a caterer.

The couple first met in Croatia in 2013, and were married the following year on March 21, 2014.

They have two children together, Digby and Michael.

BBC Breakfast airs weekdays from 6am on BBC One.
