BBC Breakfast underwent another presenter shake-up during the latest instalmet, as regular host Sally Nugent was missing from the red sofa.

On Monday's show (July 8) Jon Kay was back at the helm but was joined by Sarah Campbell, who often steps in to host the popular news show during the weekends. Meanwhile, Sally was nowhere to be seen.

Sally's disappearance comes hot on the heels of her coverage during the UK's General Election last week. Just like her colleague Naga Munchetty, Sally was offering viewers further insight as the votes came in on Thursday night (July 4).

Sally presented from Sunderland place which has become known for its history of being first to declare countless times over the years when it comes to General Elections. Meanwhile her co-stars Clive Myrie and Laura Keunssberg led proceedings back in the studio.

Last week, Sally returned to BBC Breakfast after a two-day absence in late June. At the time, Sarah was on hand to step in and replace her.

Announcing the change on Instagram on June 26, Jon shared a snap of himself and Sarah in the studio alongside their colleague Ben Boulos. Captioning the photo, Jon mentioned that it had been a year since BBC Breakfast moved to a new studio in Salford.

He penned: "Good morning from your BBC Breakfast team. Lovely to have Sarah with us - covering for Sally this week. It was exactly a year ago today that we moved into our lovely new studio.

"Over the last twelve months our team has interviewed hundreds of guests on the sofa, covered thousands of stories and last month welcomed the BBC News at One to join us in Salford. Happy Birthday studio!"

Sharing in on the celebration, fans also commented their surprise that a year had flown by so quickly. One Instagram user said: "Good god a year already? Where has the time gone! Happy Birthday SQ0."

Another fan appeared to compliment Sarah's appearance on the show as they wrote: "The nicest news presenter on morning Tv. Lovely smile super dress code and relaxed. No straight face and sitting bolt upright. Great way to start the day."
