The three top presenters have taken voluntary redundancy and will leave the BBC after decades of service between them. Eades has presented his final show already, with Gosling expected to leave at the end of January.

As for Willcox, the date for his exit has not yet come to light.

They decided against taking part in the recruitment process for a new team of six lead presenters on the proposed new channel.

The channel will combine the UK 24-hour news service and BBC World News.

Sources told Deadline the process is “humiliating” for those involved, given the presenters’ level of experience.

A third source said the screen tests will “help level the playing field” for those involved in the recruitment process.

They stressed it was important that all presenters are judged equally and decisions will be made over the next few weeks.

Those who land presenting roles will expect a significant salary increase, earning up to £230,000 ($278,000) a year.

The BBC is planning to launch the merged channel in April 2023 as part of plans to cut costs and cater for an increasingly digital audience.
