The BBC Breakfast were down to just one host on Sunday’s episode (June 12) after Roger Johnson had to swiftly make an exit for work purposes.
With 14 minutes left on clock, stand-in presenter Tina Daheley was left to go it alone after her co-star had to dip out to read the news elsewhere.
Holding the fort, Tina did a splendid job wrapping up the remainder of the show without the assistance of a co-presenter at her side.
Updating viewers on the schedule switch up, Tina explained: “And on that note, this is where we say goodbye to you Roger.”
He chirped back: “Yes I am off. Thanks for watching and have a great day.”
“You’re off to read the news,” interjected Tina, before heading over to a last look at the weather with Chris Fawkes.

It isn’t the first time the show has been short on staff during the weekend presenting shifts after Katherine Downes abandoned the set back in January.
Much like Roger, Katherine had also faced issues with a conflicting schedule and was given no choice but to make an early departure from the show.

This meant that host Chris Mason was left alone to take the reigns – much like Tina on today’s programme.
At the time, Chris explained that his co-star’s hectic work schedule – which included a flight to China – had been to blame for her sudden disappearance.
He said: “This is the point where we say goodbye to Kat who is off to read the news for Sunday Morning.
“And then is heading to the winter Olympics.”
“I am, I’ll be on a flight tomorrow morning,” responded busy Katherine.
“Off to Beijing so I’ll be speaking to you on BBC Breakfast from China.”
