BBC Breakfast star Sally Nugent has been enjoying a well-deserved holiday in San Sebastián, Spain over the last few days and upon her return home shared a series of idyllic snaps.
Taking to Instagram, the 52-year-old shared a carousel of photos, including one of the star looking as glamorous as ever in a sun-soaked selfie on the beach. The photo showed the journalist wearing a white robe and black shades whilst her hair fell in waves over her shoulders.
Other pictures from the post included the sun setting on a stunning beach backdrop and a delicious-looking plate of prawns.
Sally, who was missing from BBC Breakfast on Wednesday morning, revealed that she'd be back on the iconic red sofa on Monday. "There are no prawns left in San Sebastián," she penned in the caption. "I think we have eaten them all. Back on the @bbcbreakfast sofa tomorrow from 6. Join us if you can x."
Reacting to Sally's selfie in the comments section, fans praised the star. One person wrote: "Stunning as always," while another simply added: "Beautiful."

While Sally usually hosts BBC Breakfast alongside Jon Kay from Monday to Wednesday, she was away from the programme on Wednesday and replaced by Victoria Valentine, who will soon be temporarily leaving the BBC to go back to university.
Sally, who became a main presenter on BBC Breakfast in 2021, clearly enjoys jetting off to sunnier climes during her time off from work and even celebrated her birthday with a trip abroad with her friends back in August.

And everyone knows you don't really mean it. Thank you to lovely friends here and at home for making it so special xxxx."
Sally isn't the only presenter who has been away from the show in recent weeks. Business presenter Nina Warhurst signed off on maternity leave at the end of June before welcoming her third child, a daughter named Nancy, soon after.
