BBC Breakfast viewers react after ‘surprise’ shakeup to presenting schedule

BBC Breakfast looked a little different on Sunday morning when it aired in its usual timeslot thanks to a twist in the presenting panel.

The current affairs programme, which airs daily from 6am, usually features Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt on Sundays, however, Sarah Campbell and Roger Johnson were the presenters for the weekend show.

Feeling feel free to join us – on BBC1 until 7.30 then – on BBC2 until 9. @BBCBreakfast.”

Keeping her Instagram followers updated, she shared a number of pictures from her trip to Scotland. The broadcaster captioned it: “A week in my happy place. Great fun, great weather and lots of golf to tackle. Felt fantastic to be somewhere so peaceful and lots of laughs with friends.”

Naga added: “I even managed to fit in a bit of running along the coast and the track (and no, I didn’t run on the green!) I can’t wait to be there again.”
