Sally Nugent has given BBC viewers an insight into her working day, revealing what she calls a "crucial" part of her role on BBC Breakfast.
Since 2021, Sally Nugent has been one of the regular presenters on BBC Breakfast, although she was a familiar face on the channel for many years before that. Taking over from Louise Minchin, Sally has remained a staple on the programme as she delivers the latest headlines to viewers at home.
Behind-the-scenes look
Taking to Instagram, the 55-year-old gave her followers a behind-the-scenes look at how she prepares for the BBC show as part of the broadcaster's This Is Our BBC campaign.
A voiceover of Sally explained: "That car journey into work is really crucial, I have half an hour in the dark, everyone else is asleep, and I can go through the notes that the team have prepared through the night."
Viewers respond
As clips showed Sally in the backseat of the car going through the notes on her phone, it later showed her next to Jon Kay as they briefed on what they would be speaking about in the BBC show.
She added, "I was out on the road as a reporter for many, many years, so I know the pressure to make sure we get everything absolutely right. I ask the questions on behalf of the people at home. We hear the answers, then the people at home can make up their own minds."
It wasn't long before people commented on the post, with many thrilled to see the insight and praising Sally for her role on the BBC show. One person said: "Fab to see behind the scenes! It's so much more than what we see on screen…always vvv proud of you and your work!"
Another wrote: "This is great to see the start of your day. You have such a pivotal role! Your genuine interest is a pleasure to listen to and watch." While someone else commented: "A great snapshot of the work and dedication that goes into making."
Nina Warhurst shares her routine
Sally wasn't the only familiar face giving an insight into their role with their followers, as Nina Warhurst also shared a glimpse into how she prepares to deliver the news to BBC viewers.
In her video, she commented: "It's our job to gather the facts from as many different sources and to pull them together and present them in a way that is fair that does everybody justice."
"Trust becomes more important when there's a crisis, we are willing to wait until we know what we are telling our audiences is right and it is accurate."
BBC Breakfast continues weekdays on BBC One from 6am.
