What happened on BBC Breakfast today?
Today’s edition of BBC Breakfast saw a major presenting shake-up take place during the show.
Less than half an hour into the show and Charlie was forced to present on his own after Naga was forced off the red sofa.
Naga and Charlie began the show together, however it was clear from the off that Naga was struggling with her voice.
Less than 30 minutes in, however, and Naga was forced to leave the sofa.
“You may have noticed this morning, Naga has just stepped away from the sofa for a minute with a slight struggle with her voice,” Charlie explained.
“We’ll see how that works out, time now is 6.20am,” he continued.
Unfortunately, Naga didn’t return for the remainder of the show, meaning Charlie had to front it on his own.

BBC Breakfast slammed for ‘fear mongering’
Yesterday saw BBC Breakfast come under fire for allegedly inciting panic thanks to one of its reports.
The report in question was about the current egg-shortages, with are being blamed on Avian flu and the rising cost of power and chicken feed.
However, the British Retail Consortium assured viewers: “We are not running out of eggs.”
However, viewers still weren’t happy, with many calling for the show to be “responsible”.
“#BBCBreakfast creating panic buying of… eggs. Ffs, be responsible,” one viewer tweeted.
“Egg rationing… what a load of [poo emoji], it’s just to cause panic buying and raise prices! You can stick your eggs up your [bleep]!” another wrote.
