BBC Breakfast’s Sally Nugent missing from show as Jon Kay joined by familiar face
BBC Breakfast’s Sally Nugent was missing from todays show – as Jon Kay was joined by a familiar face.
Sally, 51, usually hosts the programme every Monday to Wednesday alongside Jon, 53.
However, she was nowhere to be seen on todays BBC Breakfast, with Nina Warhurst standing in for her instead.
Nina looked chic in a black figure hugging dress which featured a round neck and three quarter length sleeves.
Meanwhile Jon looked as sharp as ever in a navy suit with a colourful floral tie.
It isn’t the first time Sally has been missing from the show this week, as she was also off on Tuesday, with Tina Daheley stepping in.
Nina, 42, joined BBC Breakfast in 2018 before being made the show’s main business presenter in October 2020.
The position came up after Steph McGovern left BBC Breakfast to host her own show on Channel 4.
Meanwhile, Nina also appeared on Tuesday’s show but not as a main anchor.
Instead, she appeared on the sofa to talk about the devastating impact her father’s dementia has had on the family.
She said: “He would phone me 10 times a day, saying ‘I need you to come round’ and then I’d get there and he would say ‘What are you doing here?’
“At that point, it is hard not to be cross and that was the surprising thing, I felt really guilty because I was getting angry with him.”
Nina’s interview followed the airing of a short feature she filmed for BBC on dementia and the wider effect it has on family members.
She went into detail about her dad Chris – who was diagnosed with dementia in 2022 – and the special bond she shares with him.
She also addressed the pressures of caring for a loved one alongside having a young family.
BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
