BBC Breakfast viewers were treated to a surprise sofa of co-hosts on this morning's show.
Sally Nugent, 51 and Jon Kay, 53, usually host the morning news programme Monday through Wednesday, with BBC veterans Naga Munchetty, 48, and Charlie Stayt, 61, taking over for the Thursday through Saturday shift.
However, today viewers tuned in to see a different duo sitting there.
Ben Thompson, 41 and Tina Daheley, 42, covered the morning headlines with Sally and Jon nowhere to be seen.
Jon already warned viewers about his absence with a much-needed planned two-week family holiday.
Ben covered BBC Breakfast earlier this week with Sally while Jon has been away enjoying his vacation.
