BBC Breakfast’s Jon Kay has broken his silence after a lengthy absence from the red sofa, with various stand-in presenters covering for him during Easter.
The presenter is a favourite on the BBC morning programme but was recently absent, with Ben Thompson taking his usual spot. However, he has now cleared things up with a social media post that confirmed he was just enjoying some time off.
Jon told fans that he had been on holiday in Cornwall for a few days, sharing snaps on Instagram of a rock, a delicious-looking pasty, his feet clad in muddy walking boots – and a flat tyre. The star said he and his family had a blast on their trip but that they had car trouble and some rather wet weather.

“Flat tyre. Rained every day. As you can see, I fell over in a muddy ditch (and then pretended it was a deliberate April Fool – nobody was fooled) but we had a lovely spring break.
“Hope you’ve been enjoying some time off, too.” Jon, who has three children with his wife Francesca, added a string of hashtags including “#easterbreak” and “#holiday”.
