BBC presenter Naga Munchetty is leaving BBC One’s Breakfast after 17 years as co-host, she announces. Multiple outlets report she will move from the TV show’s sofa to a role on BBC Radio 5 Live, joining the station’s flagship morning programming. BBC News says she will swap the BBC Breakfast presenting role for the Radio 5 Live Breakfast presenter chair. Other coverage similarly states her departure follows years on the programme and that she will begin her new job on BBC Radio 5 Live’s morning show. Separate reports also note the BBC Breakfast vacancy will be filled by Sally Nugent, who is described as preparing to take over Munchetty’s top job. One outlet quotes Munchetty’s statement characterizing the role as a privilege and says she is set to leave in January 2027, while another story cites a different number of years. Some tabloid coverage also includes recent photos of Munchetty after the announcement.
