Tina Daheley Leaves Radio 2 Breakfast Show

Tina Daheley has announced her departure from the newsreading role on BBC Radio 2's breakfast show after seven years.

Her exit comes just weeks before Sara Cox is set to take over as the permanent host of the morning program. Daheley's departure signifies the end of an 18-year commitment to early morning radio.

During her tenure, she delivered news on breakfast shows hosted by prominent personalities including Chris Moyles, Nick Grimshaw, Trevor Nelson, and Zoe Ball. Daheley revealed her decision live on air on Tuesday.

In a social media statement, she described the role as one of the "greatest privileges" of her professional life. Daheley confirmed she will continue to be part of the station, stepping in for Jeremy Vine's lunchtime show during his absences.

Reflecting on her extensive career, which began at 1Xtra, Daheley expressed excitement for a well-deserved lie-in after her long run of early starts. She extended best wishes to Sara Cox and her new team.
