Could this affect mortgage offer? P60 missing previous years earnings from another employer

Hi guys
I have a mortgage offer in principle and I'm borrowing £300,000.
I'm waiting on the lender to make an offer after they assess my documents. They've come back and requested my P60 going back 3 years .
However, I notice that my P60s are missing 'In previous employment' pay for 2019 and 2020.
This makes it look like I've earned slightly less as it doesn't include pay from my previous job in 2018 (tax year 2019).
So over the last 3 years my salary has gone from
£33k
£48k
£60k
£80k
A nice jump in salary, but I'm worried that the lender may think I haven't earned enough for long enough. Could this information affect my mortgage offer?
Many thanks

P45s / payslips / bank statements to show the income earned for each job and cover the missing years?
Have you applied via a broker or direct to lender? The former can check with the lender to see if they will accept alternative proof, the latter you will have to ask them.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2 -
Thanks - yeah I'm applying through a broker but haven't heard back from them yet. It's all very slow at the moment.
Is there an issue with suddenly getting a bump in salary? I've been earning around £80k per year since October 2020, and my current pay slips dating back 3 months shows this.
Do lenders usually require a few years of this kind of salary to borrow? Thanks0 -
I was also fortunate enough to get a payrise (only 6 weeks prior to submitting my application!) and my broker advised that I could get a signed letter from the directors of my company stating my payrise amount and the fact that it was permanent etc. I wonder if something similar could be arranged for you?0
