Presenter Joanna Gosling fights tears as she signs off BBC News after 23 years

BBC presenter Joanna Gosling appeared to be holding back tears as she signed off from the broadcaster after 23 years. She is among those who have taken voluntary redundancy amid plans for the BBC to merge its international and domestic news channels.

"I am very grateful for the kind messages I’ve had from so many of you. I’m proud of my career in news." She did not say what she would be doing next, but added: "Now it is time for new beginnings." During her final stint on the programme on Thursday the journalist ended the show with an emotional farewell to viewers and colleagues. "Now it is just about time for me to say goodbye for the last time," she began.

Sharing how thankful she was for the messages of support she had received, the 52-year-old went on: "But your response to me leaving has been completely unexpected and I have been really touched by the wave of warmth and kindness from you, and I want to say thank you for all of your good wishes. It really has meant a lot to me.
