"I would like to say it has been the privilege of my career to serve as the CEO of BBC News and to work with our brilliant team of journalists.

Dinenage said she is expecting a letter for BBC Chair Samir Shah later today, but confirmed that it has not yet arrived. She told BBC Radio 4's Today: I'm very sad about Tim Davie stepping down. I think he was an effective leader at the BBC. I think he was a great champion for public service media,"

She defended BBC News as not institutionally biased and stated she will stand by its journalists, rejecting assertions of corruption.

Tim Davie also stepped down as director general. Caroline Dinenage said Davie ignored an internal dossier and concerns in Michael Prescott's report about the editing of Donald Trump's speech for Panorama and expects a letter to BBC chair Samir Shah.
