A BBC BREAKFAST presenter was nowhere to be seen this morning after fans claimed he was ‘bored’ with his co-host.
Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty usually host the flagship programme from Thursday to Saturday.
However, viewers tuned in to find Naga, 49, fronting the series with BBC News’ Ben Thompson.
Both journalists brought viewers the latest news from across the country while fan-favourite Carol Kirkwood was on weather duties.
No explanation was given for Charlie, 61, being absent from the iconic red sofa.
It comes after eagle-eyed BBC Breakfast viewers spotted a sign Charlie was becoming ‘bored’ with Naga.
She had been talking about a study which examined the smell of babies and teenagers.
However, Charlie had swiped “let’s move on” prompting fans to react on social media.
Writing on social media, one said: “You can always tell when Charlie is bored with a topic when he does his long slow sniff before moving on..”
A second wrote: “Charlie having none of it this morning.”
Charlie’s absence comes after Jon Kay sparked concern as he missed a number of shows.
The flagship BBC show has had dozens of presenters during its impressive 40 years on air but the current stars are:
Jon Kay – Since 2022
Sally Nugent – Since 2021
Charlie Stayt – Since 2006
Naga Munchetty – Since 2014
Carol Kirkwood – Since 1997
The dad-of-three returned to the red sofa on Tuesday to host alongside Sally Nugent.
BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One and iPlayer.
