She left Five News.

She's been replaced by Faye Barker, much to my delight.

So if she's going back to East Midlands Today, what's happening to Marie Ashby... poached from Central to do the Politics Show less than a year ago?

Marie's no longer presenting the Politics Show but is reporting and presenting for Inside Out (a role she took over from Anne Davies) and presenting EMT each Friday.

Perhaps it was her own choice and she prefered her life in Nottingham/the East Midlands.
