The beloved telly favorite, 54, has been a morning staple since 2021, anchoring the flagship show alongside big-name stars like Naga Munchetty, Charlie Stayt, and Jon Kay.<\/p>\n

But worried fans were left fearing the worst after Sally completely vanished from the screens for a number of weeks, with popular stand-in Sarah Campbell drafted in to hold the fort on Monday, 11 May.<\/p>\n

Panic quickly erupted on social media as households across Britain demanded to know where the missing host had gone.<\/p>\n

One frantic viewer vented on X (formerly Twitter): “No seriously, where is Sally Nugent?”<\/p>\n

Another asked: “Where’s Sally? Has she left?!”<\/p>\n

While a third added: “Where\u2019s Sally Nugent? Not seen her for a while.”<\/p>\n

THE REAL REASON REVEALED<\/h3>\n

Now, Beeb bigwigs have finally put the heavy speculation to bed, confirming that Sally has simply been taking some well-deserved annual leave and is expected back on air later this week.<\/p>\n

The fiercely private journalist is notorious for keeping her personal life strictly out of the spotlight, and her quiet Instagram account dropped zero clues about her recent whereabouts.<\/p>\n

The star has previously faced immense personal heartache after her 13-year marriage to businessman Gavin Hawthorn reportedly collapsed back in 2023.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the time, an insider spilled to The Daily Mail<\/i>: “It’s very sad, but they are no longer together. I think they tried to tough it out for quite a while for the sake of their son, but they clearly couldn’t make a go of it.”<\/p>\n

SECRET LIFE<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sally also fiercely protects the identity of her son, refusing to share his name or any snaps of him online.<\/p>\n

Opening up about her private world to The Sunday Times<\/i> in 2022, Sally offered a rare glimpse into her after-work routine.<\/p>\n

She revealed: “I’ll either go for a run or take Sadie [her dog] for a walk. It’s important to get some daylight.<\/p>\n

“I’ll often meet a friend for lunch. Then I pick up my son from school before doing some news research.”<\/p>\n

Last year, loyal fans flooded the star with support when she took another sudden break from screens for a secret holiday \u2014 and viewers will no doubt be breathing a massive sigh of relief to see her back in her rightful spot on the iconic red sofa within days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
