Popular BBC Breakfast host shares huge update after quitting show



A FAN-favourite BBC Breakfast presenter has given an update after quitting the morning show.

The news journalist hosted her last BBC Breakfast show last week - 15 years after joining the channel.

Victoria Valentine confirmed the news to a fan, writing: "It is indeed my last @BBCBreakfast shift."

Now the Breakfast host has taken to X, formerly known as Twitter to give an update to fans after her departure.

She appears to have listed her house for sale.

Victoria penned: "Why oh why did I smash back a handful of Brazil nuts just moments before showing prospective buyers around my house? My tongue is wading through quicksand."

Fans were pleased to hear from the BBC Breakfast star, as many replied to her.

One wrote: "Brazil Nuts contain a high amount of Selenium. Two or Three a day I would recommend."

Victoria responded back to the fan: "That's why I eat them!"

Another added: "So sad you are having to sell that amazing house,and your amazing garden Victoria. My heart goes out to you xxx."

A third penned: "That's sooo funny Victoria, hope it went well. Good luck on your move."

A fourth wrote: "Victoria I can't believe you are selling your beautiful house with amazing garden . Hope you are ok x."

A fifth added: "Trust the viewing went well in the end."

Victoria had told fans last month that she would be leaving her seat as business correspondent and relief presenter to head back to university.

She explained: "I am taking a little bit of a break from broadcasting and from the BBC in order to explore something new.

The presenter added that she'd be studying psychological sciences and would be looking at how the mind works.

"So I - at the grand old age of 39 - going back to university. I am enrolled in a full time masters course, psychological sciences which I've kind of sold to my parents as a bit of neuroscience with some thinking and feeling stuff attached to it."

"You can probably understand why that would appeal and be something I'm interested in."

Victoria then added that she was aiming to do a doctorate if her studies were to be successful.

"Should that all go well and I'm not terrible at it, I'll be looking to progress and do a doctorate."

"Perhaps four years from now you'll be looking at Dr Valentine", she quipped.

"Really sad" to be losing her audience, Victoria confirmed her last days on the air adding: "I've got a month left of the odd shift at BBC News and I've got some shifts at BBC Breakfast too."

Victoria's exit follows the confirmation of her divorce from writer and barrister Dan Fritz, with whom she shares two children.

The TV favourite broke the news on October 26, 2022, and made it official by changing her surname to "Valentine", her mother's maiden name.

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...
