In the past, lions of BBC news presentation have taunted senior managers with beards on return from holiday, but most have taken to the razor in the dressing room before going to air. Paxman and Buerk both braved it for a while; now smaller fish Jon Kay has turned up on the Breakfast sofa with bristle. 10p says it'll be gone next time he appears.

Maybe I haven't fully woken up yet, but I genuinely thought Rylan was hosting BBC Breakfast. Turns out it's just Jon Kay with a beard.
