BBC news presenter Simon McCoy, a stayer of 18 years, has told Twitter followers this morning he's about to enter the unsaddling enclosure at the News Channel.
McCoy, 59 (Sherborne and Highbury College, Portsmouth) has only just returned to our screens this week, from a period sequestered with his partner, Emma Samms, who has long Covid. The Mail has suggested they may marry.
McCoy has become the in-house specialist at leavening the dough of the soggy news cycle, and mastered the art of cheeky tweets without falling foul of the Flag Police. In January last year, we estimated six presenters had to go - since then we've only lost Carrie Gracie, Rachel Schofield and, now McCoy. Not the obvious ones to go if you're seeking engagement with audiences.
