The pair usually take to the airwaves to front the morning programme, as they deliver the latest updates to their loyal viewers.
However, both stars have been absent from the programme as other presenters kept their seats warm.
Wilfred Frost, 38, has temporarily taken over as the chief presenter as he filled in the role usually occupied by Kay, 63.
Meanwhile, former Channel 5 News presenter Leah Boleto has sat in for former BBC star Gareth, 34 for the past week.

Instead of his usual slot from the Westminster newsroom studio, Gareth was given a different job at the acclaimed news station.
Usually he forms part of the breakfast presenting team, but he took to the airwaves completely solo in the afternoon.
The former BBC personality went on-air from Sky's iconic 'glass box' studio on their expansive West London campus in Osterley.
Meanwhile, after anchoring the election coverage, Kay is enjoying herself on a well deserved holiday abroad.

She took to X - formerly known as Twitter - with a picture of her exotic getaway.
An image of a cream beach hat and a half drunk glass of champagne was posted to her account.

The former TV-am star captioned the post: "See you on the other side. Enjoy the sunshine," along with an emoji of the sun.
Amid all the absences, the breakfast show has faced a huge format shake-up.
During the show, Gareth usually presents the newspaper review segment with political correspondent Mhari Aurora and a roster of rotating media personalities.
But this week, Mhari and Leah appeared to go through the front pages by themselves without an additional studio guest in a format shake-up.
