BBC Breakfast found itself in its third shake-up of the week as Victoria Valentine stepped in to replace Naga Munchetty to read the top headlines on Thursday (November 10).
Naga, 47, normally helms the morning show alongside Charlie Stayt from Thursday to Saturday, however neither took up their usual spot on the red sofa today.
The newsreader was replaced by Ben Thompson who has been at the front of the show all week, filling the shoes of Jon Kay in his absence.

Taking to Twitter to explain why she had changed from Fritz to Valentine, that post revealed she had returned to her mother’s maiden name following the breakdown of her marriage to Dan Fritz, whom she married in 2011.
Following a lengthy blog post explaining her reasons behind the decision, she admitted she was taking her “Dubliner mother’s name” which she would use in all aspects of her life going forward.
