A BBC NEWS presenter has revealed her future with the broadcaster after being axed from a flagship show. Bosses at the station announced the News at One bulletin would leave its London studios and move to Manchester. The new-look and extended one hour programme will be presented by existing Beeb anchors and BBC Breakfast stars.

Jon Kay , Sally Nugent and Nina Warhurst will all host on rotation with Ben Brown, Anna Foster and Tina Daheley. However, the shake-up means Jane Hill will step down from the programme - with her last episode today. Taking to social media, the journalist posted an emotional message to viewers.



She said: "A big day, and a sad one, for many of us. The last #BBCNewsOne from London, after more than 37 years! "Do join us if you can at 1300. With a warning that we’ve brought in so much cake we’ll be broadcasting on a sugar rush.

" Fans flooded Jane with well-wishes, as one said: "Wow end of an era. Good luck Jane & team." A second wrote: "A silly, pointless, ridiculous, political move Jane, which doesn't add value to the viewer and is being done to score box ticking points.

A great shame." "Always enjoy News at One," said a third. In a further update to worried fans, Jane reassured them she was not leaving the BBC.

She explained: "Personal news, for avoidance of confusion (thanks for all the messages). I am not leaving "@bbcnews! Sticking with my role on #BBCNewsSix & #BBCNewsTen, plus weekend bulletins. Good luck to the Salford team.

" LEAVING/LEFT Newsni.
