Amid BBC Breakfast’s format shake-up Naga Munchetty was nowhere to be seen as co-host Charlie Stayt shared the infamous red sofa with a new replacement Sarah Campbell
BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty was nowhere to be seen as her usual co-host Charlie Stayt shared the red sofa with a more junior replacement presenter.
It’s perhaps understandable that her absence has caused a stir as this comes after it was revealed that the programme was in the middle of a format shake-up. Charlie was seen this mornning (7 september) hosting his morning show with a more junior BBC Royal correspondent, Sarah Campbell. Usually, both Naga, 48 and Charlie, 61 take over the sofa from Jon Kay and Sally Nugent every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In what seemed like a natural replacement, Sarah looked at ease as she co-hosted the news programme alongside Charlie, wearing an eye catching floral dress.
And it looks as though fans were elated over Charlie’s new co-host. Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “Sarah. Lovely surprise to see you on the sofa this morning with a huge smile & looking so wonderfully colourful in that amazing dress.”
They added: “I know bringing us the news is a tough job but like all at the BBC you are both professional & human #BBCBreakfast.” Even more disturbing, Naga was also absent from her BBC Radio 2 show earlier this week. But Naga isn’t the only one from BBC Breakfast to have gone missing recently. It wasn’t that long ago that Sallly Nugent was noticeably absent, leaving her co-host Jon Kay to host the show alone from outside of the studio.
