MORNING Live has been caught up in a major hosting shake-up as three of its main presenters disappear from screens.

The fan-favourite BBC daytime series – which rivals ITV’s This Morning – looked very different on Wednesday.

Usually Morning Live is anchored by Gethin Jones, with the TV hunk joined by either Helen Skelton or Michelle Ackerley on rotation.

However, all three stars were nowhere to be seen as BBC Breakfast crossed live to the show.

Instead Gaby Roslin and Rav Wilding were standing by as they teased what was coming up in the programme.

It’s unclear why Gethin, 46, is off air but Michelle Ackerley is away from the studio following her wedding.

The star previously dazzled fans as she stripped down to a bikini for her honeymoon in Fiji with her hubby Ben Ryan.

Meanwhile, Helen Skelton, 40, is currently filming the next series of her Channel 5 travel show with Dan Walker.

The mum-of-three recently shared a first look with fans on social media as the pair donned their hiking boots.

The Sun previously revealed how Morning Live regularly enjoys a comfortable one million viewers on average while This Morning’s ratings have halved.

Beeb bosses extended the show’s running time to 75 minutes at the start of the year, putting it directly up against their ITV rival.

Morning Live recently returned to BBC One after being taken off air for a mid-series break for weeks by show bosses.
