BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood was missing from the show on Monday in another unexpected presenter shake-up.

While Jon Kay and Sally Nugent were presenting as usual in the Salford studio, the meteorologist, 61, was nowhere to be seen.

Carol was replaced by Sarah Keith-Lucas who brought viewers the latest weather updates.

There have been several hosting shake-ups this month, including Sally taking a week off for a well-deserved birthday trip.

Meanwhile, Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty also took some time off to enjoy the summer holidays.

Disappointing: While Jon Kay and Sally Nugent were presenting in the Salford studio, the meteorologist, 61, was nowhere to be seen

It comes after Carol was left red-faced once again after host Jon Kay noticed a funny blunder during her live report.

She had an awkward interaction with the broadcaster as she kicked off her look at the latest forecast.

As Carol gushed about a picturesque snap sent in by one of their viewers, Jon was quick to point out an element she'd failed to notice.

He noted: 'Right, it's just after 10 to eight and you know Carol gets beautiful pictures from all over the UK from you everyday that just encapsulate the weather.

'Well, this morning she's got a cracker, I think that's how you say it.'

Laughing, Carol turned to the image on her screen, and said: 'It is. It's beautiful. I am looking at the sky of course Jon. I don't know what you're looking at.'

But Jon was quick to remark that he 'wasn't looking at the sky.'

While Carol's image did include a gorogeous blue skyline over a road, it was somewhat spoiled by a line of portable toilets.

She told Jon: 'I didn't notice that when I pulled it in unfortunately.

'But it is lovely isn't it? This is one of our weather watcher's pictures taken a wee bit earlier in John O'Groats in the Highlands.'

Carol then quickly moved on from the gaffe and straight into her weather report.

Last month, Carol left viewers in hysterics when three adorable Labrador puppies clambered all over her and nibbled her microphone as she presented the weather.

She joined live from a Guide Dog puppy centre to present her segment and remained the ultimate professional as the playful pups climbed over her and chewed her hair.

During her live report, Carol said: 'And we're in for a treat because they're absolutely adorable as you can see and they're so playful as well.

'They've [the puppies] been woken up early this morning just for us, with a lovely start to the day for them too... come on you little scamp... whoops get off my mic, you little monkey... anyway!'

But the puppies didn't stop for Carol as they kept on tugging and pulling at her hair and mic as she continued her segment.

BBC Breakfast presenter Sally Nugent later praised Carol for remaining professional after the hilarious puppy attack.

She said: 'Carol, I think you deserve and award for doing a weather forecast while someone was eating your microphone and another one was eating your hair. That was properly professional, well done.'

Earlier that month, Carol suffered another awkward on-air encounter as she was dragged to the floor by a dog during a live Wimbledon report, leaving her co-stars in hysterics.
