BBC Breakfast in ANOTHER presenter shake-up as usual host goes ‘missing’ from show

ANYONE tuning into BBC Breakfast this morning might have been left confused, after a familiar face was "missing" from the show.

Viewers are used to seeing Naga Munchetty, 49, and Charlie Stayt, 62, fronting the show on a Saturday.

But fans hoping to kick off their weekend with popular presenter Naga got a shock when another face was seen hosting the show instead.

Filling in for Naga was journalist Rachel Burden, who joined Charlie on the sofa.

She is a regular stand-in presenter on BBC Breakfast.

Rachel has climbed the ladder at the Beeb and cemented herself as one of their leading broadcasters.

BBC Breakfast also started at the earlier time of 6am, so that coverage of Paris 2024 could continue.

The programme has faced scheduling changes all week, which saw the show being cut short on Wednesday.

BBC Breakfast usually airs for two hours on BBC One, but midweek it switched over to BBC Two after just 45 minutes, where it then wrapped up earlier than its regular 9.30 am time slot, finishing at 9 am.

Jon Kay also went missing from BBC Breakfast earlier this week when he was given an urgent assignment in Southport.

He was tasked with reporting on the recent stabbings for BBC News at Ten.

His departure from the BBC Breakfast sofa led to an unexpected reshuffling of presenters, causing a bit of chaos in the morning's scheduling.

In Jon's absence, seasoned journalist and co-presenter Sally Nugent stepped up to take the lead.

Joining her was Ben Thompson, who took Jon's place.

Meanwhile, fans can expect more line-up and schedule changes as the Olympics take place.

It's been quite a week for BBC Breakfast.

The show also had to be evacuated this week following fire concerns on Thursday.
