SALLY Nugent was once again replaced in a BBC Breakfast presenter shakeup.
53-year-old Jon Kay took to the airwaves as usual to present the midweek edition of the corporation's flagship morning show.
However his usual co-host Sally, 52, appeared to be missing from the iconic red sofa again after she was away on Monday.
Instead he was joined by 39-year-old presenter and journalist Victoria Valentine.
The star is best known for her work as a business correspondent on the network's news channel.
She can usually be seen fronting programmes such as World Business Report and Worklife for the publicly funded corporation.
