Fiona Bruce has other commitments with the BBC as does Clive Marie and I sure as hell wouldn't want to give up those gigs. Fiona for example has had her spot for many a year as presenter of the 'Six' on Monday. Speculation about Jane Hill is just that - speculation, a quick check on Socials indicates she's been on annual leave. Of late, we can consider Ben Brown to be a 'regular' presenter of the 'One'.
Also - who claimed those presenters named above were on 'Gardening Leave' - that's clap trap! How can someone be on Gardening Leave yet work a couple of floors up in Monitoring? I think an edit is in need.
I don't keep up with this thread as much as I used to, so I didn't know that some of the 5 former female NC presenters have been given off-air roles. Although I stand by my point that it's a massive waste of talent for these 5 female presenters to be kept off our screens whilst freelancers fill shifts on the news channel and there's a potential (hopefully, only temporary) shortage of presenters for BBC 1 bulletins.
