BBC Breakfast host Charlie Stayt was replaced on the programme for a second time running this week with presenter Ben Thompson stepping in to take over on Friday (February 18).
Naga Munchetty, 46, also didn’t address her co-star Charlie’s absence, leaving fans none-the-wiser about his sudden disappearance from screens.
However, according to viewers on Twitter they didn’t seem to mind the switch up as they took to the platform to share their praise.
One person wrote: “My two favourite presenters on @BBCBreakfast this morning. @BBCBenThompson and @TVNaga01.”
Another added: “@BBCBreakfast @TVNaga01 @BBCBenThompson happy Friday everyone go easy on Ben, Naga.”

While a third penned: “@BBCBreakfast @bbcbenthompson is on.”
Alongside Naga, Charlie usually presents the programme on Thursdays and Fridays but was missing this week.
On Thursday’s programme, Charlie’s post was filled by Jon Kay – who joined Naga on the red sofa to discuss the latest headlines and goings on in the world of news.
It isn’t the first time in recent weeks that the show has experienced staffing changes, with Dan Walker and Sally Nugent also replaced earlier in the week.

Jon stepped up for Dan and Nina Warhurst acted as cover for usual host Sally – which left many digital users baffled.
One tweet read: “Right, what’s going on here then? Get Dan Walker and Sally Nugent back on as soon as possible.”
A second person agreed: “Where on earth are Dan Waljer and Sally Nugent? BBC Breakfast doesn’t feel right without them.”
Another demanded: “Where’s Dan and Sally or Charlie and Naga please? #BBCBreakfast.”

So far none of the mysterious absences this week have been spoken about on the show or social media – although it is half term and also there are MET weather warnings in place for people to stay home as storm Eunice rages on.
The Met Office has issued a second rare red weather warning to cover London, and south-east and east England.
Forecasters warn Eunice could bring wind gusts of up to 90mph on Friday, which could lead to power cuts and much travel disruption up and down the country.
Advice is for people to only travel if necessary to do so, with many trains and planes suspended – with the military on standby.
BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
