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 Quotes on Meditation

Osho Quotes on Meditation If tea-drinking can become a meditation, then anything can become a meditation — cooking or washing your clothes, any activity can be transformed into meditation. And the real sannyasin, the real seeker, will transform all his acts into meditation. Only then, when meditation spreads over all your life, not only when you are awake in the day — slowly slowly it starts penetrating and permeating your being in sleep too — when it becomes just part of you, like breathing, like your heartbeat, then, only, have you attained to the discipline, to the essential discipline of Zen. Meditation means: drop all thoughts, drop all ideologies, drop all knowledge. Drop the mind itself. The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That’s what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state. Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on

33 Crore Gods (Devi / Devtas) of Hindus

33 Crore Gods of Hindus For the believers of God, it is an accepted faith across the globe that God is one. Hindus too believe so, but then there remains a question often shaped as a mockery over Hindus about the various practices of worship rendered to innumerous God in their faith. And this question is often thrown by people, who are philosophically and religiously recognized. How come Hindu religion has 33 crore Gods? Is it sensible at all to believe and practice this? I have a question – How can one decide what is sensible and what is not, particularly when none of those great thinkers have attained perfection in realization of God, none of them have seen God, none of them have heard God. There are numerous instances where religion, religious books and their beliefs have tried to define God. Criticism is an easy thing to do but we have coins with two sides always. Realization of the positive side and its practice is not only hard to recognize but difficult to accept as well. Critic

Osho on Witnessing technique

Osho on Witnessing technique – You can witness breathing, you can witness the thought process in OSHO INSIGHTS ON MEDITATION Osho – Societies will come and go. You will take birth and you will die and many lives will come and go, and many, many clouds will pass through you. But the inner sky – AKSHAT – remains uncorrupted, virgin. But you can become identified with clouds. You can begin to feel that ”I am the clouds”. Everyone is identified with his own thoughts which are nothing more than clouds. You say, ”my thought,” and if someone attacks your thought, you never feel that your thought is being attacked – you are being attacked. The sky is fighting – fighting for clouds because some cloud has been attacked. The sky feels, ”I am attacked!” The sky was there when there was no cloud, the sky will be there when there is no cloud. Clouds add nothing to the sky. And when clouds are no more, nothing is lost. The sky remains itself totally. This is the nature – the inner sky, the inn
