Naga Munchetty is a regular fixture on BBC Breakfast for the latter half of the week. But the news anchor was notably absent on Thursday’s edition when her co-star Charlie Stayt joined Louise Minchin on the red sofa instead.
The 45-year-old was also missing from Friday’s edition of the morning programme and was replaced by Rachel Burden.
Dan and Louise present BBC Breakfast on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays.
Charlie and Naga then take over until Sunday, where a host of different BBC co-presenters will step in to front the show.
The TV broadcaster has since taken to Twitter to address a viewer’s query about her absence.
The person in question penned: “@TVNaga01 Are you coming back to the morning news?”
In view of her 227,000 followers, Naga explained she will be back to host her regular slot.
“Yes. Back on Thursday,” the BBC Breakfast host replied.
The viewer added: “Aww that’s good. Hardly seen you lately.”
At the time of Naga’s absence from the show, a BBC representative confirmed the presenter was on annual leave when contacted by Express.co.uk.
Naga joined BBC Breakfast in 2009 as a relief presenter and has presented early morning bulletins on the BBC News Channel since 2010.
Four years later, she became a regular Breakfast presenter and is often seen alongside Charlie on the sofa.
The small-screen presenter also steps in for her colleagues from time to time.

Elsewhere, Naga recently took to Instagram to share a post where she revealed she felt “strong” after going for a run at the weekend.
Sharing a selfie on the picture-sharing site, the BBC Breakfast host wrote: “Cooling down with my @bbcbreakfast buddies. It’s been some time since I felt strong while running – Today was that day – Felt good.
“Maybe it was Mr Motivator inviting Charlie to workout with him in a leotard that spurred me on…? Hope you have a lovely Saturday.”
Fans flocked to comment on the post, as many people took the opportunity to compliment the presenter.
One person penned: “Great to hear that you’re feeling so good Naga.”
“Nice one Naga!” while another person added: “Awesome.”
The BBC host regularly updates fans on her workout regimens on social media.
BBC Breakfast airs daily on BBC One at 6am.
