Sally, 52, usually hosts the BBC programme every Monday to Wednesday alongside Jon Kay.

Ever the professional, Sally took to the sofa and covered a range of topics.

Naga has also taken time away from her Radio 5 Live presenting slot this week with Loose Woman star Kaye Adams replacing.

It comes as BBC News presenters have received a fresh blow after three stars missed out on permanent on air roles.

The broadcaster has announced another shake-up to its anchor lineup for the channel.

In a drive to cut costs bosses at the Beeb last year laid off five presenters as it merged its two news channels.

Martine Croxall, Kasia Madera, Annita McVeigh, Geeta Guru-Murthy and Karin Giannone got the axe.

However, in a U-turn two of the women will return to the studio imminently.

The Times had previously reported that all women will be offered permanent roles to avoid possible legal action.
