BBC Breakfast finally welcomed longtime host Sally Nugent back onto the red sofa.<\/p>\n
The journalist and presenter previously took a break from presenting the show for another work commitment. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Sally, 52, had a scheduled leave of absence after she was asked to take part in the Christmas Special of Strictly Come Dancing. <\/p>\n
She was forced to temporarily leave the programme as she made her way to filming of the primetime show at Elstree Studios. <\/p>\n
The star was also busy in training for the programme as BBC Breakfast is filmed up in Media City near Manchester. <\/p>\n
But the anchor made her triumphant return to the flagship breakfast show for Monday's edition at the start of the week. <\/p>\n
Some viewers took to X – formerly known as Twitter – as they praised her return to the airwaves. <\/p>\n One fan posted: "It\u2019s good to see Sally Nugent back on the BBC Breakfast sofa where she belongs. Yes for the girls Sal! #BBCBreakfast<\/p>\n A second exclaimed: "I cannot wait for the #Strictly Christmas special. Seeing Sally back on #BBCBreakfast has made me excited for it. It\u2019s must watch TV every year." <\/p>\n They added: "Also glad to see Sally back where she belongs on the sofa."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n This comes after her co-host Jon Kay, 54, took a veiled swipe at her absence as he gushed about his co-stars. <\/p>\n He took to social media as he penned a heartfelt tribute to the stand-in anchors as she temporarily departed the show.<\/p>\n The presenter appeared on the airwaves alongside the likes of\u00a0Sarah Campbell,\u00a0Tina Daheley\u00a0and\u00a0Rachel Burden.<\/p>\n Jon posted a beaming collage of images with the trio on Instagram as he praised their hosting skills. <\/p>\n He wrote: "Big thanks to my three brilliant #bbcbreakfast co-hosts this week while the wonderful @sallynugenttv is tripping the light fantastic on #strictlycomedancing \ud83d\udc83\u2728.<\/p>\n "Sarah Campbell, Tina Daheley and Rachel Burden are all great journalists, great presenters and great fun.<\/p>\n "We\u2019re lucky to have them as friends – and as part of the Breakfast family.<\/p>\n<\/picture>MORE MUNCHETTY <\/span><\/p>\n
