Victoria Derbyshire only found out about the axing of her award-winning
BBC show via media reports, she has revealed in a series of tweets in which she also said she was “absolutely devastated” by news of its demise.
As the broadcaster faced a backlash on Thursday over the closure of the BBC Two current affairs and investigative show, staff were informed that the move was part of a wider series of changes to be unveiled next week.
