Louise Minchin left her role in September 2021

Louise Minchin was one of the recognisable BBC Breakfast stars who would grace our TV screens during the early hours each weekday. The TV journalist worked on the breakfast show for almost twenty years before departing. The programme airs from 6am until 9am each morning, with some presenters sharing that they wake up at an eye-watering 3:15am. Known for her signature short blonde hair, Louise worked alongside the likes of Dan Walker before she left her role in September 2021. She also once shared with Express Online that exercise was a great way for her to release the pressure of working during early hours.

However, over the years, she has undergone several transformations, especially with her hairstyle. Louise has regularly posted throwback snaps of herself on Instagram, notably from her wedding day and from an episode of Spooks where she did a one-off appearance.
