BBC Breakfast fans have shown their concern for Sally Nugent after the TV presenter has been absent from the show for the past two days. The 52 year old, who has presented on the show full time since 2021, typically hosts the BBC One breakfast show on Mondays through to Wednesdays alongside co-host Jon Kay, but has been missing for the past couple of days.

However, Sally was seen anchoring the BBC News at One from its new home in Manchester on Monday, 4 June – leading some to take to X, formerly known as Twitter, to question whether she’d secured a new role.
“Oh has Sally left Breakfast?,” wrote one social media user. “Good use of the BBC breakfast sofa! Will miss @sallynugent on breakfast,” another added. Meanwhile a third wrote: “Most excellent but does this disrupt my early morning viewing when I expect to see you and @sallynugent on the sofa.”

However, Sally’s co-host Jon has assured fans that Sally hasn’t left BBC Breakfast and, when asked by one fan if she had, simply wrote: “Nooooooooo!!!!!” The news comes after the BBC announced last week that stars including Ben Brown, Anna Foster, Tina Daheley and Nina Warhurst would front the brand-new hour long episode of BBC News at One from its Manchester base.

Last month BBC Breakfast hosts Jon and Sally revealed that the BBC’s inbox had been inundated with messages from viewers following a segment of the show which ran on Tuesday, 7 May. During one segment it was revealed that Yorkshire council had opted to not use apostrophes on street signs, with Sally explaining how they had “done away with them altogether” because punctuation “confuses computer systems”.
When fellow host Nina Warhurst asked viewers to get in contact following another segment, Jon explained that the inbox was full to the brim. “Sorry – there’s no room in the inbox Nina. We’re filled with punctuation problems,” he joked. He added: “Oh, my goodness. Hundreds and hundreds of messages about apostrophes coming in. We will read some later.”

The topical segment also gained attention on social media as many took to X to express their opinions of the matter.

“Not sure why we’re all worried about AI taking over, when according to @NorthYorkshireCountyCouncil computers can’t even cope with apostrophes!,” wrote one. Another viewer commented: “@BBCBreakfast Why oh why is putting an apostrophe in its correct place to indicate possession or plural so difficult? Don’t dumb down grammar!!!”.

You never know when you need to open a can without a can opener

Sure, the moments we actually might have to survive in the wild are sparse. Very sparse. However, you could be camping or the stores are closed and the only thing you have in your cupboard are cans, and your can opener just broke. You never know!

And when that happens, we’ve got you covered with this trick on how to open a can without a can opener. Go to the next page to see this fascinating life hack

Time of need

It’s like the trick that teaches you how to open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew: how big is the chance you might actually need it? But when you do, it’s mighty handy to know how to do it. And while opening a bottle of wine is never exactly a basic need, even though some nights it seems like it is, opening a can of food might save your life some day. Or at least it will save you from being hangry.

Lifehack

Luckily, the YouTuber ‘The Crazy Russian Hacker’ has made a very instructive video in which he clearly explains how to open a can without a can opener. How to do it? You’ll need a rough but flat surface like concrete or a sidewalk. Turn the can upside down and rub it across the surface quickly. Then turn it around and press the can from both sides. If you did it correctly, the lid will pop right off. If not, try rubbing it again. You never know when you need this trick to save your (or your cat’s) life.

Placing a towel under the door in a hotel room is a common practice that some guests use as a DIY method to block out light or noise from the hallway. Here are a few reasons why hotel guests might put a towel under their door:

1. Light Blocker: Sometimes the gap under the door can allow light from the hallway to seep into the room, especially if the hallway lights are left on all night. By placing a towel at the bottom of the door, guests can create a makeshift light blocker to make the room darker for sleeping.
2. Noise Reduction: Similarly, the gap under the door can also allow noise from the hallway to filter into the room. Placing a towel can help reduce the amount of noise that enters the room, providing a quieter and more peaceful environment for the guest.
3. Privacy: Some guests may use a towel under the door as an additional measure to enhance their privacy. While most hotel room doors have a peephole and a locking mechanism, the towel can provide an added sense of security and privacy.
4. Draft Blocker: In some cases, guests may feel a draft coming in from under the door, especially if the weather is cold outside or the room is too air-conditioned. Placing a towel at the base of the door can help block drafts and maintain a more comfortable room temperature.

While placing a towel under the door can offer some benefits, it’s important to note that it is not a foolproof method for blocking out light, noise, or drafts. Hotels are designed to provide a certain level of comfort and privacy, and if guests have specific concerns about these issues, they can always reach out to the hotel staff for assistance or request a room change.

You’d better not skip that shower anymore!

We all have those mornings when it’s all just a little bit too much: you have to get yourself ready and make sure you look at least somewhat presentable, you have to prepare breakfast and some of you might even have to make sure the kids are all fed and clothed and ready to go. We totally get that you might miss a morning shower every now and then.

That’s completely fine, as long as you do take one again the next day.

Intruders

If you skip a shower two days in a row, all kinds of unfortunate processes start to take place inside your body, and these are the kinds of processes you do not want. Of the 1000 bacteria and 40 types of fungi that every human being carries with them (yikes), there are a couple that are bad for your health. When you take your shower, you wash away those intruders very easily. But if you skip your warm morning (or evening) shower two days in a row, these intruders do stick your body.

Body odours

Of course, you don’t immediately get sick when you don’t shower for two days in a row. However, in the long run, these bacteria and fungi can be harmful to you. They can get inside your body through your eyes, your nose or your mouth and cause you to get ill. Apart from the fact that it can be bad for your health, these bacteria and fungi also cause no less than 30 nasty smells. So, making some time to take a shower in the morning isn’t that bad an idea!

This research has some astounding results!

Research is done all the time and most of it goes by unnoticed, but sometimes we come across some results that are too interesting not to share. It can be fun to find out about new facts, although at times you come across things you’d rather not have known. And then there’s the issue that it’s not always completely clear whether the results are accurate.

Fingers

Luckily, the facts we’ve got for you today are of the fun kind! It turns out that your hand can tell you a lot about your personality. It’s really quite bizarre. This research mostly focuses on your fingers. Go to the next page to figure out what your fingers say about your personality!

The secret lies in your ring finger and index finger. It can say a lot about what kind of person you are. This test only applies to men because the length of these fingers indicates the level of testosterone in men. But don’t worry, after this test we have one that is also fit for women. Now, let’s start. There are three types: A, B and C.

A. The ring finger is longer than the index finger

We’re talking about handsome men here. They’re charming and can get along with everyone. Yet they are a little more aggressive and are quick to take risks. This also means that this type of person often makes more money than their colleagues with a shorter ring finger.

Not you? Continue to the next page to find out what it says about you if your fingers are type B or C.

Like we said, the secret lies in your ring finger and index finger. Now look closely. Does the shape of your fingers look like type B or C?

B. The ring finger is shorter than the index finger

Men with these hands are very confident and can even be a little narcissistic. These people have no trouble being alone often and don’t like to be disturbed. However when it comes to love, they are less confident as they’re not the ones to make the first move and take the initiative.

What do you think, do you recognize yourself or a loved one in one of these categories? No? Well, then you must be type C.

C. The ring finger and index finger are the same lengths

Maybe this says enough already… men with these hands are good mediators, very loyal and loving. Everything is balanced with this type. They’re calm and everything seems to run smoothly, as if it’s all organized.

Now you know what your fingers can tell about you, but did you know that only your pinky finger also says something about you? You will read all about it on the next page.

Is your little finger shorter, longer or the same height as the upper line of your ring finger?

In addition to the length of the ring finger and index finger, the length of the pinky finger can also indicate personality traits. Comparing the length of the pinky finger to the top line of the ring finger can reveal insights about a person’s level of assertiveness, loyalty, and how they handle surprises. Here, there are also 3 types: A, B and C.

Go to the next page to figure out what your little finger says about your personality! You will be surprised how accurate this is. Ours was eerily true!

A. The pinky finger is longer than the top line of the ring finger

• The unknown makes you a little uncomfortable. And surprises? You’re not into that.
• You highly respect other people’s opinions and you are known to be a candid person.
• During discussions, you can sometimes come across as a bit bossy, but you will always be the first to apologize if you were wrong.

B. Your little finger doesn’t reach the upper line of your ring finger

• Taking the first step to approach someone is something you’d rather not do. You come across as shy and reserved.

• You will not give up on helping someone until the goal is actually achieved.
• You secretly hope to find the one, even though sometimes you give the impression of not needing anyone in your life.

C. Your little finger is the same height as the upper line of your ring finger

• People sometimes tell you that you have an arrogant air about you, but that isn’t who you really are.
• Lies, dishonesty and hypocrisy? You won’t have any of it, because that’s nothing like you as a person.

• You can be quite eccentric at times.

It’s so easy!

Alan Carr has split from Callum Heslop.

The 47-year-old TV star has confirmed he’s currently single after he split from the 27-year-old hairdresser.

Speaking to MailOnline, Alan said: “I’m single again.”

The comedian – who was previously married to Paul Drayton between 2018 and 2022 – subsequently joked about the kind of man he’s now looking for.

He quipped: “I look for a rugby boy. I like them big, and chunky – chunky everywhere. If you catch what I’m saying.”

Asked if he’d like them to use their strength in the throws of passion, Alan replied: “They have a lot of me to throw around – they need a digger or a skip or a winch.”

Although he’s keen to find love, Alan isn’t currently on any dating apps.

He shared: “How can I go on Grindr? I’m taking it easy at the minute. Do you really want this face popping up on a [dating] app?”

Alan’s marriage fell apart during the COVID-19 lockdowns, as Paul descended into alcoholism.

But the stand-up comic previously insisted that he has no regrets about their relationship, admitting that they both tried their best to make it work.

He said during an appearance on Australian radio: “I’ve moved on, I’m still friends with Paul, he’s sort of getting on with his life. Sometimes it’s not a bad thing. It was 14 years, we gave it a go, it didn’t work out in lockdown. Who cares? Let’s move on.

“Our marriage broke down. In lockdown, a lot of people started doing a little self-analysis and having a look at their lives, going, ‘Is this the kind of life I want?’ So, we split up.”

Rylan Clark has opened up about filming his new show with Rob Rinder, admitting they were subjected to homophobic abuse while in Italy together. The TV personality travelled to Venice with Rob – best known as Judge Rinder – to film new BBC Two show Rob And Rylan’s Grand Tour.

Rylan, 35, has shared details of the his and Rob’s experience in the country, where they spent time with an underground drag collective called House Of Serenissima. He recalled how people would meet “behind closed doors” to dress up in drag, as “they didn’t feel safe” doing it in public.

Speaking on Olivia Attwood’s So Right It’s Wrong podcast, Rylan noted that Italy is “not very LGBT friendly”. He also recalled the moment things turned scary after he and Rob, 45, joined in a drag photoshoot in San Marco Square.

He had to persuade Rob, but eventually the pair joined in the fun. Rylan said: “Rob finally got it and we dressed up in drag, the pair of us, and we walked with the whole collective to San Marco Square – Rob was giving Pauline Fowler vibes, it was the look he ended up with.”

While walking through the square, the 35 year old could hearing a young man shouting something in Italian at them, prompting him to ask one of the drag queens to translate.

“I’m now 20 foot in a pair of heels, I wanted to go mad,” Rylan admitted. “I wanted to go after this bloke and basically knock him out.”

However, moments later the group encountered some older women, who were much more supportive. Rylan told how they all “stood up and clapped” for the drag queens as they came past, which he branded a “realisation moment”.

“That was a real realisation moment, not just for us, but for them as well. They realised the people they thought we would offend or upset are the ones looking after us. It was really beautiful,” the TV star added.

A replacement for long-standing 7.30 presenter Leigh Sales has been announced.

The ABC journalist has been working at the program for 12 years, and announced in February she would be stepping down. She is due to end her time in the TV gig in June after the Federal Election.
It was revealed in a statement ABC’s award-winning investigative journalist Sarah Ferguson would be stepping into the role.

The news comes after both Laura Tingle, 7.30’s chief political correspondent, and Insiders host David Speers, were frontrunners for the coveted role.

Ferguson said in a statement she was delighted to take over from Sales.

“Led by Leigh Sales and chief political correspondent Laura Tingle, the 7.30 team has created a powerhouse program, making superb current affairs journalism on the cutting edge of the genre. Working in collaboration with the inimitable Laura is irresistible. Adding myself into that mix sounds tremendously rewarding at a time when scrutiny of power is essential, when our social structures are undergoing profound change,” she said.

“On Leigh’s departure, I’d like to say that her diligence and skill have made an enormous contribution to Australian journalism. What you don’t see in her calm studio presence is the huge amount of work she does in preparation. It will be a pleasure to take over from such a pro.

“Public service journalism has to deliver for the Australian audience, all day, every day. No one in Australia should ever feel they have no voice. It’s our job to show how public broadcasting can create a place for everyone to come and debate, think deeply, be thrilled, entertained and sometimes provoked. This is the opposite of seeking to polarise in ways we are seeing in media worldwide.”

Sales said she welcomed handing the reins to “a journalist of Sarah’s rigour and experience”.

“I look forward to finishing up and joining the viewers of Australia to see where she takes it next,” she said.

Since joining the ABC in 2008, Ferguson has produced a number of investigative features for Four Corners, as well as the award-winning documentary The Killing Season, focusing on the Rudd-Gillard years.

She’s no stranger to the 7.30 desk, and filled in for six months when Sales was on leave.
