BBC Breakfast host Sally Nugent proved a sight for sore eyes on Tuesday as she returned to the show after more than two weeks away.
The 52-year-old rejoined co-host Jon Kay on the sofa, replacing Sarah Campbell who had been filling in since New Year’s Day. Sally used her time off wisely – heading out to the Maldives for what she described as a “dreamy holiday” on her Instagram account.
Prior to her explaining the reason behind her absence on social media, viewers had began to speculate whether or not the brunette had in fact decided to quit the programme. However, Sally put those rumours to bed on Sunday, as she penned: “Home from a dreamy holiday and excited to get back to work. We’ve got a busy 2024 for you! See BBC Breakfast soon.”

Sarah, meanwhile, signed off from her fortnight’s work on Monday, declaring on X (formerly Twitter): “What a way to end a stint on the red sofa with this lovely lot. Thanks to Jon for being a fab-u-lous co-host, to you for all your messages and to the entire #bbcbreakfast team who make 3.5 hours of telly happen every morning! Sally back from 0600.”

Fans were clearly delighted to see Sally back, as one X user wrote on X of her comeback: “I always watch #BBCBreakfast as #GMB is full of the Andrew Pierce and Richard Madeley types spitting horrible c**p, Sally Nugent and co are a much friendlier option to wake up to.” Another added: “Nice to see Sally back with her gorgeous pins #BBCBreakfast.”
A third commented: “Sally lovely to see you back on the sofa this morning, missed you loads. Lots of love.” And a fourth said: “Good job Sarah but lovely to having our Sal back. I know, let’s keep you both!”
Sally looked nothing short of sensational as she posed up a storm on a stunning wooden pier overlooking the ocean on her winter vacation snap. The mum-of-one could be seen wearing a glamorous blue asymmetrical dress which hugged her hourglass frame.
She accessorised her outfit with a gold bracelet and a matching gold choker as she beamed to the camera. And Sally styled her chocolate locks into loose beachy waves which cascaded over her shoulders.

Jon was quick to comment on the post at the time, as he joked: “Love the Wirral. Looks incredible. Can’t wait to see you and hear all about it x.”
Back in London on Tuesday, meanwhile, Sally donned a hot pink three-quarter length leopard-print dress as she put on a glam, but professional display on her return to work in a shift that ran smoothly like she’d never been away.
