BBC Breakfast star Charlie Stayt was missing from his usual slot with Naga Munchetty this morning…
January 05, 2023 - 07:51 GMT Nicky Morris The BBC Breakfast sofa looked slightly different on Thursday morning as regular presenter Charlie Stayt was missing from his usual spot. The newsreader usually joins Naga Munchetty on the programme from Thursday to Saturday but was replaced by co-star Ben Thompson, who stepped in for the show. While the reason for Charlie's absence is not yet known, Ben often fills in for the main hosts when they are unable to make the programme on occasion.
The change comes just days after it was reported that BBC News is headed for a major presenter shake-up. According to iNews, 14 presenters could be cut from the schedule as BBC News and BBC World News merge into one channel. The publication reported that the redundancy process has already begun with News presenters being asked to take part in a screen test to determine whether they will keep their roles. The hosts will be asked to perform a 40-minute test in the BBC Studio.
