A BBC Breakfast presenter has returned following a period of absence. Last week, 52-year-old Sally Nugent was absent for two days in a row, leaving many at home baffled. Last week, BBC News anchor Sarah Campbell stepped in for Sally on both Monday and Tuesday for the morning broadcast of the programme.
Despite being absent, Sally did appear on the programme on Friday during a pre-recorded interview with Lindsey Burrow, the wife of the late Rob Burrow who died earlier this month. Last week, Sally broke her silence during her absence as she shared a memory on social media alongside make-up artist, Patrick Bartley. The image showed her alongside the MUA, Channel 4's Steph McGovern, and BBC News journalist Lizzie Simmons-Wood.
The group appeared to be enjoying a sunny holiday together, all sporting smiles and sunglasses. Although she may be back on the sofa, Sally's return was met with criticism following an interview with Labour MP, Jonathan Ashworth . During the interview, the Shadow Paymaster General told Nugent and viewers at home: "If you want change in the country - if you've had enough of all the economic chaos that puts your mortgage up.
"If you've had enough of all the scandals from the partying in Downing Street to the insider gambling scandal we've seen in this campaign. If you've had enough of waiting for longer and longer on the NHS then vote for change on Thursday. Do not wake up on Friday to five more years of Rishi Sunak ," ahead of Thursday's General Election .
