The star, 53, usually hosts the show with co-star Sally Nugent, 51, between Monday and Wednesday. Ben Thompson stepped in to host the programme with Sally this morning. He previously took to social media to announce the reason behind his absence on the morning programme. "Enjoying some extra sleep and long-planned annual leave with the family, so no need to set my alarm clock tomorrow morning," the presenter said. "Back on the red sofa with my BBC Breakfast family in Salford in two weeks' time," he wrote along with an emoji of an alarm clock. Fans of Jon rushed to the comment section to wish the presenter a relaxing holiday while some pointed out it was a "shame" he had to clarify his absence from the show, following the reports an unnamed BBC presenter allegedly paid a teenager for sexually explicit images. "Have a lovely break Jon, kick back and relax," one said while another posted: "See you back soon Jon. Enjoy your break." One user posted: "Have a gorgeous well earned holiday with your family. Me and my family love your reporting style. Thank you." "Awful you had to put this tweet out but I can see why in the circumstances," a concerned fan said. Sally recently addressed Jon's absence while hosting BBC Breakfast with Ben. 'I have to say, it is lovely to have you with us this morning. Thank you for coming to keep me company,' she told the stand-in host. 'You're very welcome, it's lovely to be here,' he replied with a smile. Weather presenter Carol Kirkwood also highlighted Jon's absence from the show, as she and Ben joked about the bad forecast. 'The most important thing, Jon will want to know what the weather is going to be like for his bit of time off,' Ben said. 'Is it going to rain for Jon's little break?' Con){kind=link}
