BBC Breakfast host goes solo in huge schedule and BBC channel shake-up
It will be the final TV listings change after huge disruption

Nina - a favourite among BBC Breakfast viewers - donned a stylish leopard-print blouse and leather trousers during the hugely slimmed-down episode.
It has also switched from its BBC One slot over to BBC Two as the former showcased the sporting action from the French capital.
Additionally, it spanned just one hour and 15 minutes on Sunday, before a repeat of Countryfile played out on the channel.
Yet Nina managed to pack a lot into the shorter space of time, chatting to Labour MP and Secretary of State for Business and Trade Jonathan Reynolds.

Off screen, fans recently suggested Nina had "broken the law" as she enjoyed a family holiday with her husband and three kids.
Meanwhile, on her return to the Salford studio, Nina was quick to call out a BBC Breakfast colleague.
The brunette presenter had been introducing a segment on the Buy Now, Pay Later scheme.
Once the segment was finished, show anchor Ben Thompson remarked: "It's really important and dare I say it, people will be thinking about Christmas presents and things like that won't they?
