BBC Breakfast viewers thrilled as star returns to show | UK News

During the most current instalment of  BBC Breakfast, which noticed one visitor combat tears after her son’s death, viewers have been delighted when they noticed which feminine presenter was fronting the show.

The programme often alternates between common hosts Sally Nugent and Naga Munchetty, with the likes of Rachel Burden, Emma Vardy, Luxmy Gopal and Sarah Campbell stepping in.

However, on Tuesday morning’s show, viewers noticed Nina Warhurst co-hosting with Ben Thompson, which had people all saying the same factor.

After a seven-year stint on Breakfast, earlier this yr Nina told her followers she was shifting to current the BBC‘s News at One but she still often seems on the early morning show.

Taking to X to share their ideas on her return, one individual said: “Good to see @NinaWarhurst back on the sofa. Bring her back full-time. #bbcbreakfast.”

Someone else wrote: “SO nice to have Nina back on the sofa. She’s so natural with people and a true pro. You’ve been missed – but love you on the 1300 news too.”

Another viewer commented: “I like Nina, she’s great.” While one individual shared: Nice to see Nina for a change this morning.”

Nina’s return to the show comes after the BBC star suffered a devastating loss earlier this year.

The 45-year-old’s father, Chris, died in July after being diagnosed with dementia in 2022.

Ahead of her first Christmas without him, Nina shared a poignant message on social media alongside a series of quotes.

She captioned the emotional post: “I’m lacking my Dad as we head to our first Christmas without him. Something is lacking in the world, and it hurts. This week, I acquired this e-mail from his former neighbour, and it touched me deeply.

“We didn’t know this family, but the words paint a gentleman who was warm and reliable. Someone who could breeze through the chit-chat, but could be called on in a crisis. Someone with wisdom to offer perspective to bad luck. A good neighbour.”

Nina went on to element the traits of her father as ‘quiet and regular’, noting that the small gestures add up to one thing greater.

She added: “The world can feel bleak and hopeless, but quiet things we do every day hold meaning, and it’s beautiful that a stranger wanted us to know they saw them in Dad.”

It wasn’t long before her followers supplied their phrases of help to Nina, with many rallying around to help the star.

One individual said: “Sending lots of love and hugs.” While another wrote: “Sending you and your family heartfelt hugs.”

BBC Breakfast airs on a regular basis from 6am on BBC One.
