BBC Breakfast viewers were sad to hear that a popular host is taking a break from the show after he finished covering for a colleague.
Ben Thomas, 41, joined Naga Munchetty on the red sofa last week while Charlie Stayt took some time off.
Fans loved his on-screen personality and were gutted when he announced that Sunday September 24 was his last time presenting the morning show.
Last week the pair couldn't contain their giggles in a report about a pigeon flying straight into a man's head.
One viewer joked that BBC Breakfast didn't realise what they were letting the audience in for, after an outpouring of fans begging for Ben's spot to become permanent.
Ben took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to announce his exit.

He said: "Thanks for your company! Last BBC Breakfast of the week today, popping up with a bit of BBC News tomorrow then some time off."
One watcher joked: "Ben you’ve been the best thing on breakfast for ages. Get your bum back asap, on holiday again?"
Another added a heartfelt plea for him to get more airtime, writing: "I love to see you on BBC breakfast. More please, such fun."
A third agreed: "Brilliant!!! The way you and Naga bounce off each other is good to watch!"

Viewers were very supportive, sharing their phobias with him and saying they would like to give him a hug.
