BBC Breakfast viewers were left fuming today - as two favourites were 'missing' from the show. Jon Kay led the coverage of the US election on the BBC this morning, alongside Sumi Somaskanda - but fan favourites of the show including Sally Nugent and Carol Kirkwood have yet to be seen. One fan noted: "Wheres sally #bbcbreakfast," whilst a second added: " #bbcbreakfast Where's Carol with the weather?" Another wrote: "Where are all the bbc reporters.
How come dad joke jon is with americans #bbcbreakfast ." Fans were left puzzled by a change on the show, pointing out the times switching between EST and GMT time. One fan of the show wrote: "Problems for people getting ready to go to work.

.etc] #BBCBreakfast ." Another noted that there was no UK news, writing: " #bbcbreakfast One hour of BBC Breakfast and so far no local news or weather.
. What am I paying my licence fee for?" A viewer shared: " #bbcbreakfast only good for time today bring back the speaking clock," with another adding: " I understand the importance of the US election , but endless coverage of a split screen image of crowd/building/flags isn't, perhaps, what many of us appreciate right now! Some UK news included in this would be easy enough to do and better as a public service! #BBCBreakfast ." One wondered what happened, writing: " #bbcbreakfast What's happened to BBC Breakfast?" whilst another described it as "painful".
They said: "Painful TV #BBCBreakfast ." Earlier in the week, Sally expressed concern for Jon, who had already made it out to the US. She said: "Jon, you still haven't said when you're going to sleep.
I am going to worry about you all day now," as Jon replied: "I have no idea." Fellow presenter Ben Thompson then jumped in to add: "Pace yourself, it is going to be a long week, we might not see you for a few weeks if it keeps going on and on. Take it easy, Jon, we will see soon.
" Nigel Farage was pointed out in the coverage, as he was there at Trump HQ, whilst they also covered the HQ of Kamala Harris in Washington DC but she is not expected to speak. * BBC Breakfast airs weekdays from 6am on BBC One and BBC iPlayer..
