Ben Boulos announced he was leaving BBC Breakfast while presenting the programme earlier this month.

As he signed off for the final time, Ben told viewers, "Just before we finish, just to share a bit of news, this is my last appearance on Breakfast for the time being, I am off to take a job elsewhere, but I will miss this place and this programme a lot."

As co-presenter Luxmy offered a supportive smile and reached over to touch his shoulder, he went on: "I have had the most wonderful on Breakfast, thank you to the brilliant teams we work with and above all.

"Thank you to everyone watching at home for letting me be part of your mornings, it has been a pleasure and a real privilege."

Luxmy added, "But for now, from Ben for the final time, and from me - enjoy the rest of your day and have a lovely Sunday afternoon, whatever you are up to. And goodbye, Ben! Take care, goodbye."

Following his announcement, Ben shared a video on Instagram of his last day, writing: "One last time... Get ready with me and have a rare glimpse #behindthescenes during my last appearance on @bbcbreakfast - today, Sunday 11 Jan 2026."

"I can't quite believe it, it's quite surreal," he said in the video as he entered the BBC studios at 4.30am.

"Here we go, onto the red sofa, one last time."

BBC Breakfast airs daily at 6am on BBC One.
