Speculation is growing over who could replace Naga Munchetty on BBC Breakfast after her 17-year run comes to an end

The presenter will move to Radio 5 Live in January, taking over from Rachel Burden and presenting the weekday breakfast programme from Salford and London

Sally Nugent is reportedly viewed as the leading internal option, particularly after her well-received interview with Nigel Farage

However, Steph McGovern, Helen Skelton, Tina Daheley and Victoria Derbyshire are also said to be under consideration.
