Sally was instead joined on the famous red sofa by broadcaster Ben Thompson.
It comes after Jon recently returned to BBC Breakfast after a two-week absence from the show.
He took a break from work last month to spend some time with his family.

Announcing the news on social media at the time, Jon wrote: “Enjoying some extra sleep and long-planned annual leave with the family, so no need to set my alarm clock tomorrow morning.
“Back on the red sofa with my BBC Breakfast family in Salford in two weeks’ time.”
During his time off, Jon enjoyed a trip to Corsica in the Mediterranean.

He shared a photo from his holiday on his Instagram Story ahead of his return to work that showed the journalist grinning from ear to ear while donning a tropical printed shirt.
He simply captioned the snap: “Saturday”.
Jon isn’t the only BBC Breakfast star who has been away from the programme in recent weeks.
Charlie Stayt was missing from the red sofa recently, leaving his usual co-host Naga Munchetty to host the show alongside relief presenter Ben.
