The reason for her absence from the programme has not been revealed although Jon Kay referenced it earlier in the week.

And as Matt, 46, was talking viewers through today's forecast he made a live blunder.

"We like 'drey'! Just about sums it up," said Jon Kay.

Matt then tried to style it out as he said: "Dry and grey, why not put it together, eh?"

Sally Nugent also joined in as she said: "Drey and grey."

Meanwhile, viewers were left in awe at Sally's outfit on today's show.

She swapped her more formal dresses and skirts for a pair of black leather look trousers,

She teamed them with a purple polo neck and matching blazer which featured gold buttons on the front.

BBC Breakfast viewers were taken aback by her striking ensemble and took to Twitter to compliment her.

One wrote: "Stunning outfit this morning @sallynugent - leather trousers look incredible on you. Can you post a pic?"
