Phillip Hayton

So, it has been confirmed that a senior newsreader has walked from News 24, and Phillip Hayton hasn't appeared since the news was announced.

But does anybody actually have any confirmation about whether he has actually gone?

It seems likely.

Thanks.
had seen that thread but thaught this might warrant its own, since it seems like it could be a pretty big story. No actual facts yet though!!!

Everything seems to have gone VERY quiet from our BBC insiders!

Because it's not really their place to splash around the details of private affairs between workers and their employers.

Well someone started the rumour in the first place - you could say that's not their place either! They could do the decent thing and confirm or deny and that'll put an end to the speculation. I'd also question whether the presenter line-up of a BBC channel is a private matter.

Why would Phil of left anyway? Is it due to the presenter changes?

But to pinpoint names is an invasion of privacy. I'm not talking about a presenter line-up. This matter is between the presenter and their employers, not every Tom, Dick and Harry.

Oh no, don't tell me Tom, Dick and Harry have walked as well !!

Lol! Good one, Square Eyes!

As narrated on another thread, it's sad to hear that Phillip has left the BBC. I hope he turns up soon , somewhere else on another news channel.

He is an excellent presenter.

The BBC should have given MISERABLE McCOY his marching orders instead. The man is the most depressing person at the Beeb. Also, he should do something about his weight too.
