After nearly four decades on our screens and radio stations, BBC presenter Louise Priest has announced she is to step down from her role. The 62 year old, who currently hosts the morning and lunchtime headlines on BBC Look East, has released a statement saying she feels like "the time was right" to leave after almost 40 years working at the broadcaster.
Louise said: "I have been so lucky to have a variety of jobs at the BBC it never occurred to me to leave but, after almost 40 years, I felt the time was right. "The impact of the 4am starts on my home life was the biggest factor." Louise, who shares two children, Clark and Grace, with her husband, landed her first job with the broadcaster at BBC Radio Guernsey before going on to join BBC Radio Norfolk when she was aged 23.
Touching upon her varied career, the presenter said: "No two days have ever been the same; the whole range of stories and laughs with my colleagues has meant a very varied work life." She continued, telling the BBC it had been a "privilege meeting and interviewing people from all walks of life, from a prime minister to a pantomime dame". Louise also noted how "so many things have changed over the years" and how technology has transformed newsrooms, as well as the internet.
Speaking about her decision to leave, she said: "I feel I have made the right decision to go, but I’m also slightly nervous about life after the BBC." The 62 year old admitted she doesn't have anything in the works yet and hasn't decided on her future plans, but she could be tempted to pen her own book. "I'm not ready to put my feet up yet, so we shall see.
Maybe I should write a book?" she said. Robert Thompson, the BBC's senior head of content production for the East and London,
