Moira Stuart is to leave the staff of BBC News to work on a wider range of projects.

Moira was most recently a regular newsreader on BBC One’s The Andrew Marr Show, the Breakfast News, and her 34-year career at BBC News has included stints presenting all of the corporation’s television news programmes.

Helen Boaden, Director of BBC News, said: “Throughout her 30 plus years at the BBC, Moira has achieved a great deal. She has always been a model professional as well as being much loved and admired by both the public and her BBC colleagues. Everyone in BBC News wishes her all the best for the future.”
