However, she was replaced on the red sofa in Salford by regular BBC Breakfast relief presenter Rachel Burden.

Neither star referenced the fact Naga was missing when the programme returned to BBC1 this morning.

Yesterday, the popular star disappeared 20 minutes into the show with Charlie, 60, explaining she "has a struggle".

He said: "You may have noticed this morning that Naga has just stepped away from the sofa.

"This morning she has a slight struggle in her voice. So, we'll see how that works out."

However, she never returned, with Charlie presenting the remainder of the show by himself.

One fan told the missing presenter: "Oooh Naga you poor thing. Hope your lovely voice recovers soon."

If the star is feeling unwell she will have plenty of time to recover.

She and Charlie only host BBC Breakfast from Thursday to Saturday, with Jon Kay and Sally Nugent fronting the show from Monday to Wednesday.

Charlie has had some on-air struggles of his own - with the star struggling to speak the previous day.

He erupted into a coughing fit as Naga was speaking on Thursday morning's show.
