Martine Croxall announces she is 'signing off' from BBC News in March 2023, in this video posted to Twitter. She says the studio has been her 'happy place' and thanked viewers for joining in.
Ms Croxall has not been seen on the news channel since March 2023 BBC News presenter Martine Croxall is taking legal action against the broadcaster for age and sex discrimination, after being off air for a year.
In 2020, the London hearing found that Ahmed should have been paid the same as fellow presenter Jeremy Vine for their work on Newswatch and Points Of View respectively. But the BBC argued the pair had not done similar work. During her year out, Croxall appears to have spent much of her time travelling around the world. Pictured: On a hot air balloon in MexicoAlongside broadcasters Annita McVeigh, Kasia Madera, Geeta Guru-Murthy and Karin Giannone, Croxall was shunned with little work to do. As the presenters were all due to return, they all continued to receive their full pay package.
The BBC argued they were 'not doing similar work', but the corporation later agreed on a settlement in the case.Advertisement The merger, however, left some of Croxall's colleagues, such as Joanna Gosling, David Eades and Tim Wilcox leaving for good.

In 2022, she was briefly taken off air after breaking the corporation's impartiality rules when reporting that Boris Johnson was stepping down from the Tory leadership race An insider at the BBC told The Times the group were 'litigious' and would have the backing of the National Union of Journalists should they go to court.
While celebrating her 55th birthday, the presenter was asked if viewers would see her back on their screens soon. 'This is me signing off from the BBC News channel in its current iteration from my happy place - Studio E. It has been the greatest privilege to broadcast to you from here all this time. Thank you for joining us.'
