The Chester-based presenter sparked worries when she disappeared from the show suddenly yesterday.

Louise was not feeling well and has been given the rest of the week off to recover.

BBC Breakfast thanked viewers for their concern as Steph McGovern stepped in alongside Charlie Stayt this morning.

Sally Nugent had been the 'super sub' for the last 30 minutes of Wednesday's show.

Louise posted on social media to say she was ‘much better’ after some paracetamol and a cuppa.
