BBC Breakfast viewers were left concerned for Louise Minchin when the presenter suddenly disappeared mid-broadcast.
She was presenting alongside Dan Walker when she became ill, and had to be quickly replaced by Sally Nugent.
A tweet from the BBC Breakfast account said Louise was “not feeling very well”.
Super-sub! @louiseminchin is not feeling very well so @sallynugent has joined @mrdanwalker on the sofa.

Some joked that Dan’s rather lively pink and purple tie might have made Louise feel a bit queasy.
