Emotional Radio 5 Live presenter being replaced by Naga Munchetty says she is ‘struggling to hold it together’ as she announces she is leaving the job after 15 years

Daily Mail · 9 hours ago

A long-serving BBC Radio 5 Live presenter has announced they are leaving the station after 15 years, saying they are "struggling to hold it together" as they prepare to depart. The departure comes as Naga Munchetty is set to take over the presenter's role, following her recent move from BBC Breakfast to Radio 5 Live Breakfast. The change marks a significant shake-up in the BBC's live radio and breakfast broadcasting line-up.

Related reporting suggests Munchetty's own exit from BBC Breakfast followed a difficult period, described by allies as a "war zone", with claims she was made to look like "a monster" and that a BBC bullying probe into the matter was "quietly dropped". It has also been reported that she missed out on a job at LBC after a widely criticised interview with Kemi Badenoch, before ultimately deciding to join Radio 5 Live instead.
