A BBC BREAKFAST presenter has paid tribute to their co-star as they revealed they’re ‘heading off in different directions’.
Jon Kay took to social media to share a sweet tribute to Sally Nugent as he shared a big update with fans.
The 54-year-old revealed to BBC Breakfast viewers that he and Sally, 52, would be spending time apart.
Jon has been personally chosen by Beeb execs to help front the broadcaster’s coverage of the General Election.
As BBC Breakfast with Charlie and Naga is cancelled on Friday, Jon will be on hand throughout the morning alongside veteran broadcaster Sophie Raworth.
Sharing a happy studio snap with Sally on Wednesday, Jon gushed over his colleague.
He said: “A quick pic with Sally today after a very busy six weeks of election campaign coverage on BBC Breakfast.
“Now we’re both heading off in different directions – to cover the results.
“So many BBC News colleagues are working their socks off right now – right across the UK.
“Very proud to be a part of this team.”
BBC One will show extended coverage of the UK General Election results from Thursday night.
Special programming fronted by Clive Myrie and Laura Kuenssberg will air from 9:55pm all the way through to the BBC News at One on Friday.
