He told viewers at the time: “I would like to take this opportunity to say that at this time of year I like to stop, reflect and take stock.
“The One Show has been a massive part of my life for almost a decade now, and I have loved every second of being a part of it, but I am leaving this green sofa in the spring.
“It’s time to give someone else the opportunity to see how big-hearted and generous you, the viewers, really are.”
