Where is Naga Munchetty and why isnt she on BBC Breakfast today?
NAGA Munchetty usually presents BBC Breakfast alongside Charlie Stayt from Thursday to Saturday. However, the 46-year-old was absent from the sofa on July 1, 2021, and is missing from the show TODAY (July 2). No reason was given as to why Naga has not featured on two consecutive BBC Breakfast shows. When presenters are replaced, it's common that those who have replaced them simply carry on as usual. The likes of journalists Rachel Burden, 46, and Sally Nugent, 49, as well as broadcaster Nina Warhurst, have featured on the programme. The trio are part of a rotation process which sees them take turns to stand in for the main hosts of the show. It is in fact Rachel who has stepped in for Naga over the past couple of days. The BBC Radio 5 Live presenter took to Instagram and gave fans an update ahead of her appearance on BBC Breakfast. Using crutches after breaking her ankle, Rachel penned: "Morning. Weve ditched the grown up shoes today. Bad idea with a slightly broken ankle. And I got caught kicking them off on the sofa. "So I scrubbed up the daughters airforce. Happy Friday to you all. bbcbreakfast." It is unknown when Naga will return to BBC Breakfast, but we can assume she will back on the show next week (July 7). The broadcaster has not made any reference to her absence on social media, but seems to be enjoying her time off watching the tennis. She last tweeted about Andy Murray's gruelling five-set second round victory over Germany's Oscar Otte at Wimbledon and Roger Federer's straight-set win over Richard Gasquet. She tweeted yesterday: "Am enjoying watching this SO much... #Wimbledon #federer #gasquet."
