Louise Minchin, 56, became a regular anchor on BBC Breakfast in 2012 when she hosted the programme for three days a week.
Initially she sat on the red sofa alongside the likes of Bill Turnbull and Charlie Stayt, 63.
This was before she established a regular partnership with Dan Walker, 48, who now presents the news on 5.
In June 2021, she announced she was leaving the show after 20 years on air before making her final departure in September.
Now the star returned to daytime broadcasting on BBC One as she made an appearance on Morning Live.
Gaby Roslin, 60, and Rav Wilding, 47, introduced the star as a 'consumer expert'.
She appeared on the main rival to ITV's This Morning to give her take on the drop in car insurance costs.
This comes after bosses at the publicly funded corporation chose Louise to replace Angela Rippon on Rip Off Britain.
The TV personality was sat on the kitchen island alongside the likes of Dr Kiran Morjaria and gardener Mark Lane.
Gaby took to her Instagram grid page as she revelled in the company of the broadcast veteran.
BBC Breakfast hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt forced to pull live broadcast after 'dead dog' shown on-screen
She could be seen pushing Louise who swung on one of the show's plush swivel chairs in the brightly lit studio.
She captioned the video: "Good morning everyone. Pre show shenanigans here @bbcmorninglive with @louiseminchin and we are so ready to spin around on this Friday morning."
Before she took to the airwaves, Naga Munchetty and Charlie fronted the Friday edition of BBC Breakfast amid growing tensions.
It has previously been revealed the show's editor Richard Frediani, has taken an extended period of leave amid claims of bullying.
Who are the current presenters of BBC Breakfast?
The flagship BBC show has had dozens of presenters during its impressive 40 years on air but the current stars are:
Jon Kay - Since 2022
Sally Nugent - Since 2021
Charlie Stayt - Since 2006
Naga Munchetty - Since 2014
Carol Kirkwood - Since 1997
Naga, 50, is said to be at the 'end of her tether' with Frediani and the fractious working environment.
She was also alleged to have used a slang term for a sexual act off-air in separate damning claims.
A BBC spokesperson previously said: "While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously and will not tolerate behaviour that is not in line with our values.
"We have robust processes in place and would encourage any staff with concerns to raise them directly with us so they can be addressed.'
The fresh claims emerged as Beeb bosses urged any member of staff with concerns to raise them.

The Northern Irish star, 65, runs company Holmes & Away which takes in cash from his broadcasting work. 4 Eamonn Holmes has been a familiar on-screen presence for years Credit: Rex 4 The star has been experiencing ongoing health issues Credit: Getty 4 Eamonn split from wife Ruth Langsford last year Credit: Getty However, The Sun can reveal that the production firm has racked up a six figure debt. Figures uploaded to Companies House this week show the firm is £22,850 in the red for 2024 - following a £18,000 surplus last year. Annual accounts show the GB News host has creditors of almost £150,000 to pay. In addition, he also had a Corporation Tax rebate of £39,173 paid by HMRC. Eamonn has assets that make up some of the shortfall, which is why the firm is £20k+ in the red once that's taken into account. The Sun has approached Eamonn's rep for comment. The former This Morning host – who split from wife Ruth Langsford a year ago – continues to work despite a worsening health condition. The 65-year-old has been experiencing ongoing health issues, including chronic back pain - which he's attributed to slipped discs and a 2022 spinal surgery. Eamonn has also spoken about difficulties walking and reliance on a walking frame or wheelchair. He's also struggled with shingles and has talked about experiencing difficulty seeing, even with his reading glasses. Eamonn Holmes reveals feud with 80s pop legend in on-air rant Last month he said he was in pain, 'even when the sun shines'. Sharing a selfie on Instagram, he penned: "Even when the sun shines there's pain. "Sometimes I feel I'll never beat this disc immobility but I'm determined to have a life. 'So pray for me, help me or get out of the way social media haters.' He is now in a relationship with Yorkshire counsellor Katie Alexander, 43. Ruth and Eamonn's relationship timeline Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style. Here's how their romance played out... 1997 - The couple first meet after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children. 1997-2002 - To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: "I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less." 2002 - Ruth and Eamonn welcome their son, Jack, to the family. 2005 - Eamonn finalises his divorce with Gabrielle. 2006 - The pair begin to host Friday episodes of This Morning together. 2010 - Eamonn proposes to Ruth while at the Cheltenham Races, after asking Ruth's mother for her hand. June 2010 - Eamonn and Ruth marry at Elvetham Hall, Hampshire. 2016 - Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles. June 2019 - On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits "compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal," while Ruth said it was "laughter and an equal marriage". November 2020 - Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary in a 'show shake-up'. December 2021 - After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth left This Morning. January 2022 - Eamonn debuted on GB News, while Ruth stayed with ITV in her long-standing role on Loose Women. September 2022 - Eamonn undergoes spinal surgery after years of back issues including a trapped sciatic nerve. November 2022 - Eamonn falls down the stairs of his Surrey home with Ruth and breaks his shoulder, requiring a new operation. September 2023 - Eamonn has a spine and neck stretching procedure as part of his year-long recovery. May 2024 - Ruth and Eamonn announce they have split after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship. September 2024 - Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a 'fierce' divorce lawyer. Eamonn and Ruth announced their split in May 2024 after 14 years of marriage. A spokesperson told fans about their split in a short but sweet statement. It read: 'Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.' The pair hadn't been seen together for over two years, last appearing alongside one another in a skit on Instagram.

The Scots-actor-turned-wrestler flashed a huge grin as he posed with Dyer, who looked effortlessly cool in shades and a navy overshirt. But eagle-eyed fans quickly spotted that the Football Factory star was casually holding a vape in his hand. Grado playfully captioned the snap: "DD knows the drill," even circling the electronic cigarette for good measure. The Two Doors Down fave's pre-gig Instagram spree also included another selfie with legendary TV and radio presenter Johnny Vaughan.

We told previously how a leaked report showed council chiefs branded fans of the Mancunian rockers 'fat', 'lairy' and 'drunk'. Snooty Edinburgh council officials also said punters at the August's shows will be mainly 'middle-aged men' who 'take up more room'. The secret planning briefings warn: 'Concerned about the safety of the Fringe and its performers. Many performers are considering not attending for that weekend.
