Jon Kay confirms when Sally Nugent will return to BBC Breakfast as he pens heartfelt tribute to stand-in hosts
JON Kay has confirmed when Sally Nugent will return to BBC Breakfast.
The longtime host of the BBC morning show took to social media as he penned a heartfelt tribute to the stand-in co-hosts.
Sally, 52, took a break from BBC Breakfast so she could travel down to London to compete in the Christmas special of Strictly Come Dancing.
As such Jon, 54, has taken to the airwaves alongside the likes of Sarah Campbell, Tina Daheley and Rachel Burden.
All three of the hosts are popular with fans and the journalist posted a collage of behind-the-scenes snaps on Instagram.
Each duo of presenters gave their own pose but it's clear Jon enjoyed their company as he beamed in every shot.
Alongside the picture, he gushed about the trio in the caption as he wrote: "Big thanks to my three brilliant #bbcbreakfast co-hosts this week while the wonderful @sallynugenttv is tripping the light fantastic on #strictlycomedancing 💃✨.
"Sarah Campbell, Tina Daheley and Rachel Burden are all great journalists, great presenters and great fun.
"We’re lucky to have them as friends - and as part of the Breakfast family.
However he confirmed that his usual co-host will be returning to the iconic red sofa next week.
