BBC Breakfast saw a different line-up this morning, with the absence of Sally Nugent.
Instead, her colleagues Jon Kay and Sarah Campbell stepped in. Jon explained that Sally was always due to present the News at One from Salford, but would pop in later in the show to pay tribute to the late Rob Burrow.
Rugby star Rob Burrow died at the weekend after battling Motor Neurone Disease.
Sally, who had become close friends with the sports star and his family, joined the hosts around 8am on Monday to remember Rob.
This is where the BBC Breakfast favourite fought back tears whilst discussing the tragic loss of Rob.

Sally, who had grown close to Rob and his family whilst filming a documentary about his health battle for the BBC, shared a sweet tribute on social media prior to gracing our screens. She penned: “Shoot for the moon. Land in the stars @rob7lindsey.”
