BBC Breakfast viewers were delighted to see former news anchor Louise Minchin return to the red sofa on Wednesday morning. The presenter made a guest appearance to discuss the current concern over HRT shortages and opened up about her own experience of the menopause and how it had a 'physical impact'.
Louise left the BBC One new programme back in September 2021 and has since been on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! and also fronted an ITV documentary on stalking after her own experiences. She announced her return to BBC Breakfast to her followers on social media on April 27 posting: "Good morning, I am on my way to @BBCBreakfast to talk about the #HRTshortages, have you had issues getting supplies and how does that make you feel?? On the telly at about 0810."
During her appearance, where she was interviewed by her former co-host Dan Walker and Sally Nugent, Louise explained how the menopause affected her role on BBC Breakfast before she went on HRT and how she'd kept it hidden from her colleagues.
