MORNING Live was dealt a presenter shake-up on the programme which saw the programme send a heartfelt message to missing star Gethin Jones.
Gethin usually co-hosts the show most morning on BBC One alongside one of his co-stars, often Helen Skelton or Michelle Ackerley.
However, on Monday, Gethin was nowhere to be seen as he took a step back from hosting duties.
Instead, Michelle was hosting the show alongside regular face Rav Wilding.
Gethin was away from the programme as he was celebrating his 46th birthday.
The popular Welsh star had been spotted enjoying a Six Nations match over the weekend with his very close pal, ex-Welsh rugby player Jamie Roberts.

Fans swooned over Gethin's toned abs and fit physique, calling him a "hunk".
Taking to the comments section, one wrote: "Nice shorts! You look good."
