BBC Breakfast’s Sally Nugent flooded with support as she returns to show after split from husband
BBC BREAKFAST’s Sally Nugent has been flooded with support as she returns to the show after splitting from her husband.
The daytime tv presenter, 51, is said to be ‘devastated’ after splitting from her businessman husband Gavin Hawthorn, 52.
Gavin is believed to have moved out of the £1.4million Cheshire home he shares with Sally.
However, despite her turmoil, she joined her co-host as usual on the red sofa for this morning’s show.
Sally was stoic as she brought viewers the latest news from around the country with Jon Kay.
She wore a chic white dress and showed off her freshly painted red nails.
BBC Breakfast fans were delighted to see Sally on their screens and took to social media to offer their support to the star.
One said: “Morning sally you are looking amazing again this morning so beautiful.”
A second said: “Disney should cast @sallynugent in the live-action ‘Hercules’ – her look is serving total Greek Goddess vibes this morning!”
“I can’t believe someone as gorgeous lady as yourself been dumped,” said a third.
While a fourth said: “You look great this morning Sally, head up x.”
Sally and her estranged husband have one son together, who she keeps firmly out of the limelight.
Speaking about their split, a friend of the couple told The Mail: “It’s very sad but they are no longer together.
“I think they tried to tough it out for quite a while as they didn’t want to split up if they could possibly help it for the sake of their son but they clearly couldn’t make a go of it.
“They’ve both been very guarded about the reasons behind their growing apart but it’s been plain for a while that they had been and now it’s obvious that they haven’t been able to resolve that despite clearly trying for some time.”
Reports suggest the pair’s careers made have played a part in the demise of their relationship.
BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One and iPlayer.
