Jon Kay faced a bit of a setback as he was forced to miss BBC Breakfast. The presenter was nowhere to be seen on Monday's show (July 11), not long after being announced as one of the programme's main presenters.
While already a familiar face to viewers of the daily news show, it was announced on Friday (July 8) that Jon will become the new regular presenter on BBC Breakfast from Monday to Wednesday.
He replaces Dan Walker, who had hosted the morning show since 2016 up until earlier this year when he quit the BBC programme to join a new-look 5 news on Channel 5 in place of Sian Williams. It was confirmed that Hull-born Jon, 52, would start his new role with immediate effect.
