BBC Breakfast in hosting shake-up as Carol Kirkwood missing from show with no explanation

BBC Breakfast had a hosting shake-up today as Carol Kirkwood was missing from the show with no explanation.

Carol, 60, has been on hand this week to give BBC Breakfast viewers their daily weather updates.

But as high winds battered parts of the country, Carol was nowhere to be seen today.

Instead, Matt Taylor took her place to present the numerous forecasts during the programme, with no explanation given as to why Carol wasn't there.

Matt was welcomed onto the show by hosts Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty, before he warned viewers to be careful in the high winds.

Yesterday, Naga, 47, had to give sports correspondent Mike Bushell a warning after he took a cheeky swipe at Carol.

At the end of one of Mike's segments, they started to move on to the weather, with Charlie asking Mike if it had been wet when he'd arrived at the studio that morning.

Mike pulled a face and said it had been, before Naga said: "You'd hope that Carol would cheer us up, wouldn't you?"

But Mike swiped: "I don't hold out much hope looking at her."

Naga replied: "Oh, oh!" as Carol, 60, appeared on screen, laughing before feigning mock outrage at Mike's comment.

Naga added: "I don't know if that came out as he meant," as Mike also tried to explain himself saying: "The skies behind you."

As Carol stood in front of a picture of a grey sky, she laughed as Naga warned Mike: "You need to be careful Mike, the temper will come out there."

Carol then added: "That's called backpedaling furiously, Mike."

BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
