Luxmy Gopal took to X, formerly Twitter, to reveal she’s departed her presenting role at BBC Look North.

The 32-year-old was a regular fixture, hosting the news bulletins for West, South and North Yorkshire.

But Luxmy isn’t disappearing from screens – as she confirmed a permanent role in London.

The journalist has been promoted to BBC London and will become a familiar face for viewers in the capital.

Posting on social media, Luxmy said: “I’m happy to say my @BBCLondonNews contract has been made permanent! I’ll miss my lovely @BBCLookNorth team & the wonderful viewers who were so kind to me from my first bulletin there!

“I couldn’t have asked for a better welcome to Yorkshire. I’ll pop back to god’s own soon!”

Fans flooded with Luxmy with well wishes, as one said: “Congratulations. Sounds like Look North was fab, but always knew you were a Londoner really.”

A second wrote: “Congratulations Luxmy! Go fly Lovely!”

“Delighted Luxmy – you are a brilliant broadcaster and London is lucky to have you,” said a third.

While a fourth commented: “Many congratulations Luxmy, great person for the great job.”

Luxmy has previously co-hosted BBC Breakfast, stepping in for hosts Naga Munchetty and Sally Nugent.
