BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty hosted without Charlie Stayt again this morning in another presenter shakeup.
Viewers tuned into the flagship programme expecting to see the pair together.
However, Charlie, 61, was nowhere to be seen on the iconic red sofa.
Instead Naga, 48, was joined by Ben Thompson as they brought viewers the latest news.
Ben, who is a regular presenter at the Beeb, has co-hosted BBC Breakfast before.
The pair did not explain why Charlie was absent.
Usually, from Monday through Wednesday, Jon Kay and Sally Nugent host the breakfast show, then Charlie and Naga take over until Saturday.
This isn’t the first time Charlie has been replaced by Ben.
Recently, the news journalist was missing from the show and fans started to speculate that there might have been “a row” behind the scenes.
BBC viewers took to social media to share their thoughts, with some wondering if there had been a bust-up between Charlie and Naga.
One wrote: “Have Charlie and Naga fallen out? They never seem to appear together these days..”
A second penned: “Intriguing?! After looking visibly refreshed last weekend, today BBC Breakfast sees the return of the tension and turbulence of Naga Munchetty, and now Charlie Stayt is MIA?! It seems there is trouble in paradise!”
