NAGA Munchetty was missing from BBC Breakfast again today after a three-week unexplained absence.

The 47-year-old journalist has barely been on the BBC Breakfast sofa alongside Charlie Stayt in the last month.

She returned to the programme last Friday after two full weeks of absence and three consecutive Thursdays.

Naga appeared again on Saturday and BBC Breakfast fans could have been forgiven for thinking normal service had been resumed.

But when they tuned in this morning, they were welcomed by Charlie, 60, and Nina Warhurst, 42, meaning Naga was absent for her fourth Thursday in a row.

Naga's absence from the programme hasn't been acknowledged by her colleagues or explained by the star on any of her social media platforms.

Those who had been thrilled to see her back last week were sad to see her return hadn't lasted very long.

One wrote on Twitter: "Charlie isn't the same without you by his side xx" alongside a picture of a cartoon bear crying.

Naga had received a warm welcome on Twitter last week, with one fan writing: "Good morning Naga. Lovely to see you back on the red sofa #BBCBreakfast."

Another tweeted: "great to see you back on Breakfast this morning. Shows not quite the same without you, it misses your wit and style of interviewing. Keep up the great work."

A third added: "My day is complete @TVNaga01 back on this morning."

Meanwhile a fourth wrote: "yaaay @TVNaga01 is back! Hope all is well. You have been missed."

BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
