The presenter previously fronted the corporation's flagship morning show for nine years. 4 4 Louise Minchin, 56, became a regular anchor on BBC Breakfast in 2012 when she hosted the programme for three days a week. Initially she sat on the red sofa alongside the likes of Bill Turnbull and Charlie Stayt, 63. This was before she established a regular partnership with Dan Walker, 48, who now presents the news on 5. In June 2021, she announced she was leaving the show after 20 years on air before making her final departure in September.

A BBC spokesperson previously said: "While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously and will not tolerate behaviour that is not in line with our values. "We have robust processes in place and would encourage any staff with concerns to raise them directly with us so they can be addressed.'

Leading granola brand Lizi's has unveiled 'The Great British Breakfast Report' with new brand ambassador Gaby Roslin and food historian Dr Neil Buttery, delving into Brits' breakfast habits over the past 25 years. Breakfast has changed – no longer are we tucking into fry ups at home every morning, as busy modern life sees Londoners prioritise convenience and on-the-go options. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The newly commissioned research from Lizi's shows that consumers have decidedly shifted towards healthier options since the turn of the millennium, with 42% of Scots saying a desire to improve their health has influenced their breakfast choices over the past 25 years. Plus, as another sign of how breakfast attitudes have changed, 36% of Scots admit that they spend more money on coffee than breakfast. Lizi's Although Scots have indulged in various new breakfast options in recent years such as overnight oats (27%) and avocado on toast (4%), many Scots have stuck to more traditional choices, with cereal (64%) the most popular breakfast in the Scots. The classic Full English fry-up is now only regularly eaten by 9% of Scots – further evidence of the shifting mindset of the nation towards healthier options. The report lands as Lizi's announces its new brand ambassador, renowned breakfast broadcaster, Gaby Roslin; a champion of health with a real passion for nutrition. Gaby Roslin, Lizi's Brand Ambassador, says: 'Good nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are very important to me, so I'm thrilled to be working with Lizi's as its new ambassador – its granolas have been a firm favourite in our house for years! Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Breakfast has seemingly come a long way in 25 years and it's reassuring to see from Lizi's new report that the British public have become increasingly focused on their health when it comes to their first meal of the day. We live in such a fast-paced world where a quick, tasty and nutritious breakfast that sets you up well shouldn't be so hard to find – and Lizi's has successfully cracked that trio. Gaby Roslin 'My husband and kids are huge fans of the Lizi's Low Sugar and High Protein ranges, while for me it's all about the Gluten Free range because finding tasty and trustworthy options that are suitable for someone with a gluten allergy is hard. The Lizi's Gluten Free Caramelised Nuts is an absolute must try!' Lizi's Great British Breakfast Report suggests that for many, habits have shifted, with meal-prepping and skipping breakfast on the rise and 13% of Scots now eating more packaged breakfast foods. This is due to convenience (47%) being the biggest factor influencing our breakfast choices, closely followed by taste (44%) and added health benefits (22%). Londoners have come up as the most diverse cohort, opting to eat a greater variety of breakfast foods than any other region of the UK. In contrast, those from Yorkshire, Scotland, Wales and East Anglia are more likely to eat breakfast at home, not spend money eating out and stick to more traditional breakfast foods– suggesting various regions are more conservative regarding breakfasting. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad With 28% of the population bringing their breakfast with them to school, college or work, the modern consumer has to build their morning meal around a busier lifestyle, which means their breakfast priorities focus on convenience, as well as health benefits and taste. Lizi's has worked with esteemedFood Historian Dr. Neil Buttery on the report, who says: 'It's fascinating to see that despite the influx of new breakfast trends in recent decades, Brits still cling to comforting classics like cereal as a breakfast favourite. Health and convenience are clearly shaping their morning breakfast choices massively, and functional cereal choices with benefits such as increased protein or reduced sugar are a real winner. 'The research shows that younger female demographics are driving the change in choices, often eating later and on-the-go, and influencing household choices. Age also appears an important factor in breakfast preferences, with older Brits still consuming the more traditional options such as cereal, toast and oats, whereas Gen Z are more likely to eat more contemporary options, including avocado on toast, pancakes and breakfast burritos. 'Women appear to be the leaders in this health-focussed shift, with 25% opting to go for functional choices with health benefits and more than a third agreeing that chasing a healthier lifestyle has impacted their breakfast choices. Meanwhile men appear to have remained more traditional in their choices, with 52% enjoying cereal for their morning meal. This marks a division in gendered breakfast behaviours, suggesting how modern routines and roles are influencing how we eat.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Daniel Wheeler, Head of Marketing at Lizi's, says: " Lizi's is a leading, premium granola brand which has been dedicated to creating delicious nutritious granola for more than 20 years. We're known for our great taste and commitment to health. From being the first UK cereal brand to measure the Glycaemic Load (GL) of its products, to developing great tasting, healthy ranges such as High Protein and Low Sugar only using high quality ingredients, catering for developing consumer demands, we remain at the forefront. "Our new research reveals just how much Britain's breakfast habits are evolving—with 75% of people now choosing their morning meals with health and wellness in mind. With more than 60% influenced by the increase in variety, and 1 in 3 willing to spend more on quality choices like premium granola, it's clear that consumers are demanding both nutrition and taste. "That's why we're thrilled to team up with our new ambassador, Gaby Roslin—a long-time Lizi's fan whose passion for health and flavour reflects exactly what we stand for. Lizi's has long been a trusted part of her family's morning routine, and we hope it continues to be the same for millions of others looking for a better way to start their day.'

The Price Tag singer noted she had been "in and out of tests" in recent times. "Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early'," she said in a video message. "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job," she joked. "I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive tits and more music." Call for NHS to give women with dense breasts extra cancer scans New hope for patients with breast cancer gene Men should help carry out mammograms - experts The Essex singer, who was announced on Tuesday as one of the acts on the bill at September's Radio 2 in the Park music festival, added that she was going public with the diagnosis in order to help her to process it, and also to show solidarity with others going through something similar. "I just wanted to be open and share it," she continued. "One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. "I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book. "It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse - that's the bit that kills me." The performer, who gave birth to a son in 2023, went on to say the diagnosis had given her "incredible perspective". "But honestly I need to process it and talk about it and, I need a hug," she told fans. "You have loved me through all my good and hard times. And I don't want this to be any different."

The singer's latest announcement comes after she recently told BBC Radio 2 breakfast show host Scott Mills she had turned down a major Broadway role, playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret. "I recently got offered a huge role on Broadway but I turned it down because it wasn't the right time," she explained. "My son was too young and I just couldn't." Underlining her background and training in musical theatre, she added: "I will do it at some point, and it was an amazing audition process and I was so proud that I got it."

Radio 2 breakfast audience drops slightly following Zoe Ball's exit
Listeners to the Radio 2 breakfast show have fallen slightly since Zoe Ball stood down as presenter, in a period that saw several stand-in DJs host the programme before Scott Mills took over the role full-time, new data suggests. The show attracted an estimated weekly audience of 6.45 million across January to March of this year, down from 6.83 million in the previous three months – though higher than the 6.28 million recorded in July-September 2024. Mills began his breakfast stint on January 27, so he was not in the job for the whole of the period covered by the latest figures. Zoe Ball bowed out as presenter on December 20 2024 after nearly six years in the role, with Gaby Roslin and Mark Goodier filling in during January until Mills began. Despite the slight dip in listeners, Radio 2's breakfast slot continues to enjoy the largest audience on national radio at that time of the day, ahead of Radio 4's Today programme, which had an average audience of 5.70 million in the latest period, as well as the breakfast shows on Radio 1 (4.07 million) and commercial broadcaster Greatest Hits (3.11 million). The audience for the Today programme is down very slightly from 5.74 million in the previous three months, but up from 5.61 million in the equivalent period a year ago. The figures have been published by the research body Rajar, and also show that: – Radio 2 remains the most popular station in the UK with an overall weekly audience of 13.11 million in January to March this year, although this is down from 13.65 million in October-December 2024 and is the lowest figure since Rajar resumed reporting in autumn 2021 after a break during the Covid-19 pandemic. – Radio 4 had an average weekly audience of 9.33 million, up from 9.04 million in the previous three months and also up on 9.20 million a year earlier. – Radio 3's audience of 2.15 million is up 8% year-on-year and up 10% on the previous quarter, taking it close to its post-pandemic high of 2.17 million at the end of 2021. – Radio 5 Live saw a jump in listeners both on the previous quarter (up 1%) and year-on-year (up 10%), with an average audience of 5.38 million in January-March. Kate Phillips, interim BBC chief content officer, said: 'In a hectic world, I'm delighted to see audiences finding what they need from the BBC: reflection and delight from Radio 3 with its unrivalled, high quality classical music offer, and news and insights from our distinctive speech networks Radio 4 and Radio 5 Live.' Helen Thomas, head of Radio 2, said she was 'thrilled' that Radio 2 remains the UK's most popular radio station, adding: 'Congratulations to Vernon Kay who remains the most listened to show in the country with a weekly audience of 6.73 million to his mid-morning show, and to the Radio 2 breakfast show, which maintains its position as the UK's biggest early morning programme.' Radio 2 launched a new weekday schedule at the end of January 2025 which, along with Mills taking over the breakfast show, saw Trevor Nelson host a new afternoon show and DJ Spoony present a late evening slot on Mondays to Thursdays. Elsewhere, the commercial network Greatest Hits saw a slight fall in listeners for the fourth quarter in a row, though its average audience of 7.14 million is still nearly two million higher than it was two years ago, when it stood at 5.12 million. Among the smaller news-based stations, Times Radio recorded its best numbers since launching in 2020, with an average audience of 622,000 listeners across the three months to March, up 3% on the previous quarter and a jump of 24% on the year. GB News averaged 559,000 listeners in the latest quarter, up 19% on the previous three months and up 23% year-on-year, while Talk – formerly Talk Radio – had an average of 485,000 listeners, down 4% on the quarter and down 36% on the year.
