BBC Breakfast in double internet hosting shake-up as TWO beloved presenters disappear from present with out clarification – leaving Sally Nugent to carry the fort

BBC Breakfast was hit with a double hosting shake-up on Wednesday, as two of the usual familiar faces were replaced without explanation.

It’s normally Jon Kay, 55, and Sally Nugent, 53, who bring the latest headlines to the nation, however, Jon was nowhere to be seen and instead Ben Thompson was in his place on the sofa.

On top of this, fan-favourite weather presenter Carol Kirkwood, 62, was missing for the second day in a row, with Matt Taylor stepping in for her again.

On Tuesday, Matt suffered a technical blunder while hosting his segment of the popular BBC programme as the weather charts failed to load.

He told Sally and Jon: ‘We’re flip-flopping from one extreme to another at the moment but another cold one this morning, a temperature drop through the night,’ as he tried to press the button again but it still didn’t work.

The presenter continued: ‘Some of the coldest spots are indeed in Scotland and Northern Ireland right now, we’ve got temperatures right down to munis five degrees.’

He nervously quipped: ‘Let’s see if we can get these charts to work, it doesn’t really want to work.’

Sally jumped in with: ‘I think you would have gotten away with that if we hadn’t just mentioned it’ and Jon added: ‘I think it’s so cold your computer graphics have frozen. Get the de-icer out.’

It comes just after BBC Breakfast viewers were left raging with the broadcaster’s studio makeover as they branded their Christmas decorations ‘naff and drab’.

As Sally and Jon took the iconic red couch for Monday’s installment, they revealed the studio’s festive transformation following the weekend.

For the first episode of December, the BBC decked their halls with holly and planted two huge green Christmas trees behind the sofa.

The trees had a classic design, featuring an array of red, white and silver ornaments and baubles.

However, they were poorly received by viewers, with one taking to X, formerly known as Twitter to rage: ‘The Christmas tree in the studio is winding me up, not much of an effort been made there #BBCBreakfast.’

A second chimed in: ‘Frigging hellfire… that’s not much of a Christmas tree behind the sofa, last years was much better [cringing emoji] #BBCBreakfast.’ 

‘Tree looks naff and drab… needs some lights #BBCBreakfast,’ a third echoed.

While a fourth agreed: ‘The BBC have splashed out again on a Christmas tree [cry-laughing emoji] #BBCBreakfast.’

For the episode, Sally also got in the festive spirit as she donned a chic cherry red dress.

Jon also paid homage to the festive period as he wore an ivy green satin tie, which he paired with a dark grey suit.

Breakfast airs weekdays on BBC One from 6am and is available to stream on iPlayer
