Sally Nugent, Carol Kirkwood, Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty have been taking time off in recent weeks to enjoy the summer holidays, and fans of the early morning show have been impressed with the latest guest presenter on BBC Breakfast
BBC Breakfast viewers were delighted with Sally Nugent’s replacement after the show underwent a shake-up over the summer holidays.
Host Sally Nugent, who has been a regular fixture on the red sofa since 2021, usually presents the show alongside co-host Jon Kay, but she was replaced by a new face on Wednesday. Business correspondent Victoria Valentine was instead paired with Jon, and she went down a storm with fans, who called for the new presenting duo to be on the early morning show permanently.
“Can we have the wonderful Victoria Valentine every day please?” one wrote on Twitter, as another agreed: “Please can you make Jon Kay and Victoria Valentine a permanent pairing?#BBCBreakfast.” While another keen viewer wanted Victoria, who usually hosts BBC World News, given regular presenting duties. “I will watch #BBCBreakfast everyday if Victoria Valentine was presenting,” they wrote.
“Victoria is doing well, surely she’s next in line for the top job,” another predicted, while others were impressed with the chemistry between Victoria and Jon. “Such a lovely relaxed vibe on breakfast this morning maybe John & Victoria could be a permanent duo,” they mused. “I must say Victoria is a breath of fresh air on BBC1 breakfast this morning #BBCBreakfast,” one viewer added, as another said it was “an absolute pleasure” seeing her on the sofa.
