Jenny joins top names leaving BBC Spotlight

ANOTHER BBC Spotlight veteran, Jenny Walrond, has said she is stepping down from the programme – the fourth in the past year.

Walrond, who is the BBC South West Health and Science Correspond­ent, announced her departure on Twitter where she quoted Frank Sinatra: “Start spreading the news... Massive thanks to all those who trusted me to tell their stories, to all the interviewe­es/colleagues/contacts who I’ve laughed and cried with over the last 23 years.

“It’s been a blast, but it’s time for someone else to have a turn.”

Walrond’s Tweet was replied to by many well-wishers. She is the fourth BBC Spotlight presenter to step back from the broadcaste­r in the past year, with Hamish Marshall and Justin Leigh making their own announceme­nts in
