BBC Breakfast fan favourite breaks his silence on being absent from the show's famous red sofa amid presenter shake-up


Jon, 54, has hosted the show on Monday to Wednesday since January 2023, alongside Sally Nugent - who has been there for almost a decade.

As Jon read out submissions from viewers who mistook food - and worse - for the spiky mammals, the journalist failed to hold her nerve and had to cover her face as she laughed at the mortifying mistakes. Sally giggled as Jon told her of a woman who mistook a fruit loaf she had thrown out for the birds for an animal - while a man described carrying a lump of horse poo out of the road after stopping traffic to rescue what he thought was a hedgehog. 'He was too embarrassed because everybody was watching him so he gently picked up the horse poo and put it over the hedge and all the drivers started applauding him, thinking he'd saved a hedgehog,' Jon said, as Sally burst out in giggles again.
