After Naga Munchetty’s absence last week, now her co-star Charlie Stayt is missing. As fans watched BBC’s Friday Breakfast, fellow journalist Ben Thompson sat alongside Naga on the iconic red sofa.

While Charlie’s absence has yet to be explained, Naga and Ben are happy to fill in for him and share a joke or two between segments. Having worked for the BBC since 2001, Ben is a familiar face in the newsroom and appears regularly on Breakfast.

She captioned the post: “A week in my happy place. Great fun, beautiful weather and lots of golf to tackle. Felt fantastic to be somewhere so peaceful and lots of laughs with friends.”

While fans were happy to see Naga enjoying herself, many missed seeing her in the newsroom. During her little break, Charlie and royal correspondent Sarah Campbell took over the reins.
Despite the recent upheaval in the BBC’s breakfast office, we hope to reunite Naga and Charlie of our dreams next week. The duo have been known to host the show together on Saturday mornings, so maybe we’ll see Charlie over the weekend!
