SALLY Nugent is riding high after being promoted to one of the main BBC Breakfast presenters.

But when the broadcaster isn't busy keeping the nation up-to-date with the daily news, she enjoys a cosy homelife with her family.

The 50-year-old, who is replacing former BBC Breakfast host Louise Minchin, shares her home with her husband and their son.

Although Sally is private about her partner and child's identities, she sometimes gives a rare glimpse into her life away from the studio.

On Instagram the news anchor has shared pictures of her beautiful home.

One family member that does make regular appearances on her Instagram feed is her pet dog Sadie.

"Letting our normal grooming standards slip a little #stayhome," she wrote alongside this adorable snap of Sadie.

Elsewhere, during lockdown, Sally converted a room in her home to a makeshift gym, with a spin bike as she took on the Big Bike In challenge.

She shared a snap of the bike sat in the middle of one of the high ceiling rooms in her home, which also have stunning parquet flooring.

She wrote alongside the snap: "This is my before picture for the #bigbikein. No one will ever see the 'after'. Really enjoyed my 30 miles. The brilliant @louiseminchin is still pedalling. She’s doing a hundred ! #nhs#stayathome#savelives."

Before bagging the top BBC Breakfast job, Sally had worked on a freelance basis, filling in when regular hosts were unavailable.

However, now she will present the breakfast show from Monday to Wednesday.

She is taking up the role alongside Dan Walker, Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt with immediate effect.

Announcing the news on Twitter with a picture of herself sitting next to Dan on the red sofa, she wrote: "Delighted to confirm I’m joining @mrdanwalker
permanently as co-presenter of @BBCBreakfast.

"Working with the best team in the business".

Louise left the morning show last month after a run of 20 years presenting the programme.

Sally's first media role was at BBC Radio Merseyside before she went on to read the sports news on BBC North West Tonight.

She has been part of the BBC Breakfast team for almost a decade as a sports presenter and has been a journalist for 25 years.

Sally’s new role comes after she landed a series of high profile exclusive interviews and prime-time BBC documentaries last year, including Marcus Rashford on his quest to end child food poverty.

That story won her Scoop of the Year award at the 2021 Royal Television Society Journalism Awards.

Of her appointment, Sally said: “I’m absolutely thrilled…It’s an honour to take the reins from Louise and be part of the UK’s most watched breakfast show.”
