BBC Breakfast sees two presenters replaced in yet another hosting shake-up – but ‘breathtaking’ Carol Kirkwood steals the show in a figure-hugging dress

BBC Breakfast saw two presenters replaced in yet another hosting shake-up – but it was ‘breathtaking’ Carol Kirkwood who stole the show in a figure-hugging blue dress.

The programme’s Monday to Wednesday presenters John Kay and Sally Nugent were nowhere to be found on Tuesday, as the breakfast show continues making changes for the Olympics. 

Instead, Ben Thompson and Sarah Thompson took the helm on the red sofa and read Tuesday’s top stories.

But, they were shown up by weatherwoman Carol who looked incredible in a fitted blue dress with mid-length sleeves.

Viewers descended on X, formerly Twitter, to compliment Carol’s look, gushing: ‘Breathtaking in blue. Wow.’

They continued: ‘Looking absolutely gorgeous’; ‘Bonnie, blue, beauty Carol’; ‘Very pretty’.

And that was not the only change – the BBC’s coverage of the Olympic Games began at 6:45am on BBC One, which meant BBC breakfast was forced to switch to BBC Two mid-broadcast. 

The breakfast show followed the same format last week and had been criticised for cutting out vital segments like the local news and weather reports. 

Furthermore, Ben’s replacement John is normally paired with Luxmy Gopal, rather than Sarah. 

It comes after just Sally, 52, was replaced at the end of July, with Jon, 54, presenting with Nina Warhurst (right) instead. 

It came just a day after fans of the show were left livid as Ben Thompson stood in for Jon on Tuesday. 

BBC Breakfast failed to mention why Sally was missing on Wednesday’s show.

However, despite the change – some viewers felt Nina did a great job as she spoke about the tragic stabbings in Southport as part of the headline news

Just days before, the programme was again pulled from BBC One halfway through the show and moving to BBC Two to make way for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games coverage.

But the show being cut short and downgraded to a smaller channel wasn’t all that made fans fume.

Fans branded the interview segment ‘disgraceful and disappointing,’ as they claimed that Ben addressed the politician with an ‘aggressive tone’.

The Chancellor was on the current affairs programme to talk about her decision to end winter fuel payments to millions of pensioners not on pension credit or other means-tested benefits, amongst other topics.
