Finally confirming he's leaving the BBC for 'medical reasons', what next for scandal-hit Huw Edwards?
Just months before being taken off the airwaves in the summer of 2023, the Welshman had been seen visiting the London offices of media rivals Global (home of LBC and Classic FM), rarely averse to poaching BBC stars in recent years.
Asked about the Global visit, Huw grandly let it be known at the time he was 'thinking about his future' and considering 'several options both inside and outside the BBC'.
Is it now too much a case of 'damaged goods' for Huw's one-time media suitors?

King Charles, announcing new appointments to the Order of the Garter to coincide with St George's Day, also sends summons to the current knights and ladies for June's annual Garter ceremonies.
Alas, Prince Andrew will miss out. A mole whispers that he has been told that although welcome to lunch and an investiture, held in private, he is not invited to take part in any of the public ceremonies.
At least the King hasn't removed the honour. That would involve Andrew's Garter regalia being kicked down the St George's Chapel stairs into a ditch.
That was last done in 1716 when the second Duke of Ormonde was found guilty of treason.

Edwina Currie, in a forthcoming Channel 5 documentary about Cecil Parkinson fathering a love child with his mistress Sara Keays, claims the difference between Sara's liaison and her fling with John Major was that 'wronged' Sara wanted to tell her story while Parkinson was still in a very senior position.
'I wasn't going to do any damage and hurt the public image of somebody I cared about very much,' she says. So was John Major chuffed to be described as a perfect gentleman who occupied the tap end during shared baths, Edwina?
Former Doctor Who stalwart Alex Kingston nostalgically recalls her 12 years co-starring with George Clooney in ER.
'He taught me basketball,' she says, forlornly conceding there's been little contact since. 'I'd love to know how to get in touch with George for a catch-up,' she wails.

In his swansong column for Saga magazine, Jeremy Paxman is asked if, prompted by the onset of Parkinson's, he has considered a one way trip to the Swiss clinic Dignitas: 'Yes, I have. But then I saw the Terry Pratchett film (Terry Pratchett: Choosing To Die) and I couldn't help noticing how scruffy some of the staff were in dirty T-shirts. I'm afraid the lack of personal hygiene rather put me off.'
Daniel Mays, jogging with his son Mylo, 17, in Highgate, bumps into his musical hero, Oasis warbler Liam Gallagher. 'I was completely tongue-tied,' he recalls. 'I said excitedly, 'Look, Mylo, it's Liam Gallagher!' He replied: 'Who's that?!'
