And it seems viewers are pleased with the unexpected shake-up of BBC Breakfast presenters.
One fan wrote: “Hello Jon and Sarah.”
A second exclaimed: “Hello, brilliant and fantastic people. Have a great Monday and a great start to the week.”
It comes after Jon took to social media where he revealed he and Sally were heading in “different directions” for the UK’s special general election coverage.
He was personally handpicked by bosses to be one of the main faces covering the aftermath of Labour’s huge landslide victory.
He went live from a pop-up studio in the heart of Westminster, outside Parliament, alongside veteran news presenter Sophie Raworth, 56.
Meanwhile, Sally was separated from her usual partner as she was part of the night reporting team for Sunderland’s key vote count.
He was present alongside a host of other familiar faces from the corporation’s elite list of presenters on BBC One.
Fiona Bruce, Victoria Derbyshire, Naga Munchetty and Jeremy Vine were among the other famous names that made up the mammoth team.
But Jon took to social media just before the popular duo split, praising his colleague and friend.
Who are the current BBC Breakfast presenters?
The BBC’s flagship show has had dozens of presenters over its 40 years on air, but the current stars include:
Along with a beaming photo of the couple in their usual studio habitat, he wrote: “A quick photo with Sally today after a very busy six weeks of campaign coverage on BBC Breakfast.
“Now we’re both going in different directions – to cover the results.”
Jon added: “Many BBC News colleagues are working incredibly hard right now, all across the UK.
“I am very proud to be part of this team.”
