Overview

• Sally Nugent missed the first 15 minutes of BBC Breakfast on May 14, leaving co-host Jon Kay to anchor solo initially.
• The delay was caused by a lift bridge near MediaCity UK that failed to close after opening for marine traffic, leaving Sally stranded in her car.
• Weather presenter Carol Kirkwood covered her segment during Sally’s absence, and colleague John Watson assisted her in reaching the studio safely.
• Sally apologized on-air for her tardiness and later posted a photo of the obstructed bridge on Instagram with the caption 'stuck.'
• Viewers speculated humorously on social media about her absence, with some questioning if she had overslept or grown tired of her co-host.
