Naga Munchetty missing from BBC Breakfast – and fans say the same thing about replacement Victoria Valentine

NAGA Munchetty was missing from BBC Breakfast today – and fans said the same thing about her replacement Victoria Valentine.

Naga, 47, usually hosts the show Thursday to Sunday but she was nowhere to be seen on today’s BBC Breakfast.

Her co-host Charlie Stayt was also absent from the programme, with Ben Thompson continuing with hosting duties after previously standing in for Jon Kay earlier in the week.

He was joined by Victoria, who looked incredible in a black velvet trouser suit and funky top.

Viewers were pleased to see Victoria back on their screens, after she previously stood in for Sally Nugent last month.

Taking to Twitter, one wrote: “@VValentineNews good morning Victoria, it’s great seeing you where you belong on the red sofa. Best presenter on television.”

Another added: “There is no doubt that @VValentineNews is the coolest cat on television.”

A third tweeted: “#BBCBreakfast Victoria Valentine stunning name for a pretty presenter.”

Meanwhile a fourth shared: “It’s great to see the wonderful @VValentineNews on #BBCBreakfast, hope this is a regular slot.”

Last time she was on the BBC Breakfast sofa, Victoria introduced herself as Victoria Valentine for the first time.

She had previously been called Victoria Fritz but revealed in a blog post that she had split from her husband Dan Fritz.

The couple had married in 2011 and share two children, and in her post Victoria explained how she had decided to take her mother’s maiden name going forward.

BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
