Louise Minchin to Leave Breakfast
#16
Victoria Derbyshire if she wanted to move up to Salford.

I’ll put my money on Nugent. She’s been with the programme for over a decade, she’s heavily attributed to Breakfast’s success throughout the pandemic and is already Minchin’s primary cover.

The tabloids couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery...

Whoever is chosen to take over from Louise, I hope they give the show a much needed kick up the backside...
I'm on Andover Radio every Saturday afternoon from 4pm-6pm. Follow me on Twitter.

Agreed, it needs a massive refresh.

Also, in relation to GMB I don't see them getting Louise as a coup. She is a good but fairly bland presenter, and not someone who would draw an audience to GMB.

Breakfast do have long established form for promoting from within, usually from weekends to weekdays. The only real notable exception to that was bringing in Dan Walker to replace Bill Turnbull, so whilst a new face isn't completely out of the question, it seems much more likely it would be a promotion of an already familiar face.
#21
Seeing as Louise is "looking forward to lots of lie-ins" it seems unlikely that she'd be joining GMB.
A loss to BBC Breakfast, though. Sally Nugent seems most likely as a replacement.

He had experience of appearing for a few minutes most Saturdays to talk football so was at least familiar to viewers

Yes but literally just a few minutes on a Saturday and was not part of the Breakfast team whereas pretty much all previous promotions had come from within. Dermot > Bill and Natasha > Sian > Susanna > Louise.

Frankly I don't believe that anyone of them will replace her, I just can't see Piers Morgan on BBC Breakfast, also his outspokeness could bring him more trouble at the Beeb....... On the names suggested there, I think that Sally Nugent could be the most realistic replacement

Can’t believe that people on this site would see such ‘articles’ as anything other than nonsense made up to score advertising revenue – and if you don’t believe it, why are you posting it?
I sincerely apologise if I have offended you, it was never my intention to offend anybody

As ever with everything on this site, 'In my opinion' yes, it needs a refresh. It's dull as dishwater. Just because something still rates higher at the moment doesn't mean it is actually good and can't be vastly improved. I don't think it would take much innovation from its competitors to take away its place in the ratings, so they shouldn't rest on their laurels.

I would say that Naga getting the Mon-Wed role allowing Sally Nugent to do the back half of the week was likely but I suppose Naga now has other commitments with 5Live. I can’t see Sally getting Mon-Wed personally, although I think she’d be good at the role.

Victoria Derbyshire is a good shout for well known but still BBC face. But I also think Ranvir Singh is an outside chance - strictly raised her profile but is a bit lost for a ‘big gig’ at ITV and isn’t really GMB’s main relief either.

Kay Burley ‘defecting’ or Piers Morgan making a ‘comeback’ or Susanna Reid returning from the ‘sinking ship’ are all very very unlikely!
#28
Whilst Sally and Ranvir are good shouts, I wonder whether Tina Daheley could be one to watch? Has been relief in the past and with her ad hoc appearances on the Six and Ten, could be a good way to “introduce” her more to BBC One audiences...
#29
I think Rachel Burden is the most probable of the current relief presenters, in my opinion. I agree that Naga Munchetty's radio commitments means it's unlikely she'll shift to Monday - Wednesday. Nina Warhurst is good but still pretty "green" in the relief presenter role. I think Sally Nugent's strength is in her current sports role / special reports / relief presenting, but not sure if she'd want the step up to permanent anchor. I could be wrong.

I'd love to see Martine Croxall get the gig personally!
As seen on BBC Newswatch
