Dan Walker has been quick to shut down speculation on why Sally Nugent was absent from BBC Breakfast on Monday, telling viewers there was 'no drama.'
It's now been two weeks since long-serving breakfast presenter and former Football Focus host quit the BBC, after previously announcing he'd signed a deal to move to Channel 5 to be their main news presenter. Sally was in the studio as Dan hosted for the final time, with another one of his former colleagues, Louise Minchin, also making a surprise arrival, months after she also quit BBC Breakfast.
Dan is due to make his Channel 5 debut next week but is clearly still keeping a keen eye on how things are going on his former stomping ground, as on Monday, he took to Twitter to share a screen grab of a news article with a headline which read 'BBC's Sally Nugent missing from show just days after Dan Walker's exit,' adding that Sally had been replaced by Nina Warhurst.
