Sally Nugent shared a glimpse into her sun-soaked birthday celebrations with her social media followers over the weekend.
The BBC Breakfast host, who turned 55 last week, posted a carousel of photos on Instagram. The images included a snapshot of Sally looking effortlessly glamorous in a denim mini skirt and pink gingham sleeveless top, accessorised with a pair of gold sandals and dark shades. Other snapshots showcased the stunning view of the ocean, as well as a mouth-watering seafood platter.
Sally, who kept her location under wraps, simply captioned the post: "Birthday."
The comments section was inundated with birthday messages from fans and friends, including from Waterloo Road actress Tillie Amartey, who competed against Sally on the 2023 Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special. She penned: "Happy birthday to the most beautiful lady inside and out miss ya."
Big changes at BBC Breakfast
Sally's post comes just weeks after Naga Munchetty announced her departure from BBC Breakfast, sparking speculation about who might step into her shoes.
Naga, who currently presents the show from Thursday to Saturday alongside Charlie Stayt, is set to front 5 Live Breakfast five days a week.

"Presenting a flagship programme on 5 Live is an opportunity that was simply too good to pass up. It will take a huge amount of work and require 100% of my focus and energy, and I'm really looking forward to throwing myself into the role."
Sally, who fronts the programme three days a week alongside Jon Kay, has been rumoured to be stepping into Naga's role.

A source told the publication that the journalist is being eyed as the future of the show.
Sally's life off-screen
Sally lives in Cheshire, according to The Times.
The journalist is a mum to a teenage son, whom she shares with businessman Gavin Hawthorn. The former couple were together for around 13 years before reportedly splitting in 2023.
Sharing an insight into her daily routine during a 2022 interview with The Times, Sally revealed that she likes to go back to bed after filming BBC Breakfast before taking her cavapoo Sadie for a walk.
"I'll either go for a run or take Sadie for a walk," she said. "It's important to get some daylight. I'll often meet a friend for lunch. Then I pick up my son from school before doing some news research."
