How did BBC Breakfast viewers react?

Viewers rushed to social media to share their thoughts.

On Twitter, one said: “I have often criticised @BBCBreakfast but I have to say it’s a much better watch with Nina Warhurst as one of the presenters.

“A nice easy pleasant professional manner, but still able to ask relevant pertinent questions much better than the prickly approach of Naga Munchetty.”

Lovely to see Nina on the sofa this morning

A second wrote: “Lovely to see Nina on the sofa this morning. Far, far better than Naga with her grating voice #BBCBreakfast.”

Another added: “Glad to see that Naga is not on today, constantly having a dig at her co presenter… such a nicer program #bbcbreakfast.”

A fourth stated: “Still no Naga #BBCBreakfast.”

A fifth replied to the tweet, saying: “I hardly noticed. Long may it last.”

Meanwhile, Naga’s absence comes shortly after the host was flooded with compliments over her appearance.

Last month, the star graced the famous red sofa in a long sleeved midi dress.
