BBC Breakfast presenters Dan Walker and Louise Minchin were missing from the line up on Monday morning, as they were replaced by hosts Roger Johnson and Sally Nugent.
Journalists Dan, 44, and Louise, 52, usually present the breakfast programme from Monday through to Wednesday, but today broadcasters Roger and Sally stepped in to do the job.
But this isn’t the first time Roger or Sally have stepped in as replacements on the BBC show.
Earlier this month, viewers were quick to notice that Roger had taken Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt’s place over the weekend, as he hosted the show with fellow presenter Rachel Burden.

Sally, who usually presents the sports segment on the programme also previously stepped in to replace Louise in March.
Monday May, 31 was a bank holiday across the UK, so this could be the reason why the usual presenters were missing from the schedule.
One viewer who noticed this took to Twitter and questioned: “Do presenters get double pay today? I’d never work bank holidays.”
Last week on the morning show, presenter Dan was left red- faced after Sally and Louise laughed about his physique.

Sally had been talking to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty MBE ahead of this summer’s Tokyo Olympics.
Co-hosts Louise and Sally were in stiches after Dan compared his body to the Olympian.
Referring to Adam’s success in the pool, Dan said: “He’s unstoppable, isn’t he? He is unstoppable!”
Sally said: “We had Mark Foster on the show on Sunday, and he said on air ‘he will win gold in Tokyo – barring injury and disaster – he will win gold, there’s nothing to stop him.’

“He’s [Adam] got such a great attitude as well, he’s got the mind completely right, so relaxed so focused.
“He said he’s done these competitions and now he’s going back into the trenches.”
Jokingly, Dan then said: “Similar upper body to me as well actually. A lot of care and attention has gone into that.”
But Sally and Louise couldn’t help but see the funny side to Dan’s comment, which led him to question them on why they found it so funny.
“Hold on a minute, why are you two laughing so much?” Dan questioned.
