BBC Breakfast star Naga Munchetty has gone missing for a second day in a row – and was replaced by a familiar host.
It comes after the BBC recently revealed that Naga made £25,000 in the month of June on top of her usual salary for presenting the breakfast show.

Familiar face Nina Warhurst had to take her seat next to Charlie Stayt this morning
Naga, 49, and Charlie Stayt, 62, usually team up to present BBC Breakfast from Thursday through to Saturday.
However, she was nowhere to be seen this morning when a familiar face, Nina Warhurst, 43, stepped up to help give the nation the latest news headlines.
She delivered news on a number of topics, from the death of national treasure Maggie Smith to the introduction of banking hubs.
It’s unclear why Naga wasn’t on BBC Breakfast this morning, but the show is no stranger to hosting shake-ups as presenters regularly swap in for each other.
Nina usually appears on BBC Breakfast as a business and consumer affairs reporter, but it’s not the first time she’s had to step up to co-present the morning news show.
Recently she stepped in twice within two weeks to cover Sally Nugent earlier this month. Sally, 53, usually hosts the programme with John Kay, 54, on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
While Naga was missed by fans, many viewers were happy to see Nina get a chance to present.
“Absolute delight to see the lovely Nina Warhurst reading the main news,” one fan gushed on X, formerly Twitter.
“So lovely to see you rising in the broadcasting ranks, Nina. You are absolutely my favourite presenter,” praised another.
Naga’s absence comes after the BBC revealed how much the breakfast star made on top of her annual £345,000 salary, which makes her one of the broadcaster’s highest-earning presenters.
She has previously spoken about how she works hard for her salary and has to be in the BBC Breakfast studio by 4.50am.
Presenters are also allowed to pick up extra earnings by being hired at after-dinner speeches, hosting Q&A sessions for firms, and handing out gongs at corporate bashes.
Staff disclose their extra earnings to BBC bosses and the amounts are published by the corporation under transparency rules.
And the latest BBC External Events Register has shown that Naga was paid between £5,000 and £10,000 for hosting a Veuve Cliquot awards ceremony in London on 13 June.
On June 16, she was paid up to £5,000 for hosting an event for an organisation called Stardust.
Naga also picked up between £5,000 and £10,000 for being an interviewer for software firm NICE Systems on 25 June.
Who are the current presenters of BBC Breakfast?
The flagship BBC show has had dozens of presenters during its impressive 40 years on air but the current stars are:
Jon Kay – Since 2022
Sally Nugent – Since 2021
Charlie Stayt – Since 2006
Naga Munchetty – Since 2014
