BBC Breakfast: Jon and Luxmy introduce the show
On Wednesday’s episode of BBC Breakfast, Sally Nugent, who usually presents the show between Monday and Wednesday, was nowhere to be seen and was instead replaced by journalist Luxmy Gopal.
Despite the huge shake-up, fans were more than pleased to see the “gorgeous” Luxmy sat on the iconic red sofa.
Fans rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their happiness over seeing the welcome replacement.
One X user said: “Cold out! Here in #UK we have #BBCBreakfast with gorgeous Laxmy Gopal to warm the cockles.”
Another person expressed: “After a long, cold night shift, fantastic to get home to a warm house and the lovely smile of @luxmy_g on @BBCBreakfast. Here all week Luxmy?”

Although a reason for her absence wasn’t specified, it could be down to the fact that Sally is taking part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.
The television presenter has been partnered with Italian dancer Graziano Di Prima, who was originally paired with Zara McDermott in the main show before they were eliminated a few weeks ago.
Sally confirmed the news with some sweet snaps of herself with Graziano on the Strictly set.
She penned: “I was in need of a little pick me up when the lovely people at Strictly called. They kindly suggested I might like to learn to dance with @grazianodiprima in time for Christmas.
“I am definitely not a dancer – but I will try my best. And there is no one better to learn with. Join us on our Christmas adventure and I guarantee that we will all have fun along the way. Ciao.”
BBC Breakfast airs from 6am to 9am each morning on BBC One.
