BBC Breakfast presenter Sally Nugent was nowhere to be seen this week, as she has been replaced by stand-in host Nina Warhurst in a huge shake up to the usual line-up.
Sally usually presents the show alongside new permanent presenter Jon Kay on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, before Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt take over towards the end of the week.
But while Jon was out and about at Droitwich Spa Lido to present on the latest heatwave news, Nina was holding the fort solo back at Media City.

Even weather presenter Carol Kirkwood and business correspondent Ben Boulos had abandoned her, with Carol hosting from Kew Gardens and Ben busy at a central London train station to talk about the transport chaos.

Sally, meanwhile, hasn’t updated her social media pages since July 12, when she posed alongside Nina in the studio with both stars wearing sunglasses indoors, with the cheeky caption: “Breaking news. It’s warm.”
Jon was clearly enjoying himself while out at the pool, with or without his usual co-host.
He joked with viewers: “It looks like a wonderful, wonderful place to dive in.
“I haven’t got any trunks with me, but I’ve been told there might be some in lost property that we might be able to borrow later in the morning – but I wouldn’t inflict that on you if you’re watching!
“We might do that in the privacy of our own time after the programme!”
It comes a day after Jon was on location in Cambridge, where a pigeon unceremoniously pooped on his linen jacket.
As an anti-pigeon device, Jon donned a white shirt emblazoned with lilac flowers on Tuesday (July 19) to act as “camouflage”, as Nina joked with him: “We saw you do a few outfit changes yesterday, Jon – should we be prepared for what comes later?”
The presenter replied: “I decided that after the pigeon poo incident yesterday that this shirt was probably better camouflaging if it happened again! I deliberately avoided the flamingoes though!”
Jon was initially delayed from starting his new job by a positive Covid-19 test result, and took to Twitter to share the bad news with his fans.
He wrote: “Aaaagh! Finally got me [germ emoji]. Gutted not to be able to start the new job officially @BBCBreakfast on Monday.”
Jon, who used to be a stand-in host, added: “I guess working from home isn’t really an option @BBCFrediani?”
BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
