It’s not unusual for presenters to chop and change, especially with the summer coming up.
But Naga was conspicuous by her absence today.
Who replaced Naga?
Naga’s absence wasn’t discussed on the show this morning.
Along with Rachel, Sally Nugent and Nina Warhurst often replace the main hosts when they take days off.
And for Charlie and Rachel it was business as usual this morning.
There has been no comment from the BBC as to why Naga was missing today.
Scanning through social media, there was no word from Naga either.
It’s not clear if she will return tomorrow, so all eyes will be on BBC breakfast.
