News about Ben Thompson

Jon, 54, and Sally Nugent - who has been on display in almost a decade - have hosted the show since January 2023. Last week, fans were left confused after Ben Thompson greeted Sally rather than Jon. However, the beloved host has confirmed that he was in fact on holiday with his family in Cornwall - but that the father-of-three sunshine was not on the agenda. Jon wrote a carousel of photos from the trip on Saturday, saying: 'Bleddy good few days in Cornwall.' It's so great just to be able to visit for family fun after years of being a journalist.'

During Thursday's BBC Breakfast, Naga Munchetty took a shot at her co-star Carol Kirkwood.

On New Year's Day, Sally Nugent was forced to host BBC Breakfast by herself, leaving the room looking rather bare without a regular co-star.

After a fan-favourite host announced that he would be off the show for a few weeks, viewers on BBC Breakfast expressed disappointment. On the red sofa last week, Ben Thompson has been filling in for Charlie Stayt, as well as Naga Munchetty.

Huw Edwards hasn't appeared on the channel since being identified as the subject of criminal investigation into allegations of sexual assault. In July, the 61-year-old news anchor was accused of paying £35,000 to a homeless teenager in exchange for explicit photographs.

When reading a story about snakes, a BBC newsreader has humourously hidden his face behind his notes.

Snakes are feared by the journalist, who has said he would not even look at videos of them.

PATRICK MARMION: Rylance is perfectly suited for the role. His bashful gynaecologist is perfectly embodied, with his hair combed forward before his ears and backwards behind, a mutton chop sideburns and a waxed 'tache.' He portrayed himself as a tumultuous dogmatist who is oddly unsure of himself when relating his tale to his wife in later years.

As Ben Thompson stepped in to present with co-star Sally Nugent, BBC Breakfast's Jon Kay was missing from the show on Tuesday morning.

As major wage increases (Sydney hospitality worker, left) worsens inflation, Deutsche Bank Australia's chief economist Phil O'Donaghoe is now expecting the Reserve Bank (Governor Philip Lowe, right) to raise rates in June, August, and September. This will push the cash rate to 4.6 percent, the highest rate since November 2011, and it will add another $295 to monthly repayments on an average, $600,000 mortgage. This would bring the 11 interest rate rise since May 2022, which has also increased the cash rate to an 11-year high of 3.85 percent. Little wonder that the Melbourne Institute reports that Australia's economic distress is at its worst level since the Global Financial Crisis in 2008.

On Wednesday, the 41-year-old said he came off his bike riding home, leaving him with a large graze on the side of his cheek.

Nevertheless, the tune did not go down well with the jury and phone voters, with Mae finishing second from bottom, in 25th place out of 26 countries.
