BREAKFAST Television host Frank Ferragine has gone missing from the show again without warning.
Fan favorite Stella Acquisto took the weather reporter’s usual morning show spot on the Citytv Canadian live broadcast.
Frank took an unexpected absence at the end of last week, with the star originally announced as off on Thursday’s show.
Tammie Sutherland opened the BT show on Monday and again mentioned that Frank was off.
She sat in the studio and wore a high-neck patterned dress while a split screen showed fan favorite host, Stella, who was being filmed from an indoor Christmassy mall.
Tammie began: “Thanks for joining us again on this Monday morning. It’s 6:01 and we say good morning to Stella Acquisto in for Frank Ferragine this morning.”

“Good morning Stell,” Tammie continued and smiled at the camera.
Stella wore a metallic buttoned shirt and grinned: “Good morning Tams.
“Tams. What happened to this weather? It is so cold outside.”
Tammie agreed: “It’s freezing Stella, it’s freezing. I know snow is on the way and I’m bracing myself for it and some people are looking forward for it and they cannot wait.”

Stella presented the weather throughout the rest of the show and the reason for Frank’s absence was not mentioned.
WHERE’S FRANK?
Frank was also missing at the end of last week on BT.
He was absent from Thursday’s show, with Natasha Ramsahai stepping in as his replacement.
Tammie opened proceedings and said: “We’re going to say good morning to Natasha Ramsahai in for Frank Ferragine this morning, live at Yorkdale.”
She then excitedly greeted: “Tash, good morning, nice to see you!”
The duo then moved straight into the news segment, without explaining where Frank was or when he’d be back.
