The 57-year-old had been approached to fill in for 35-year-old newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky, who is on maternity leave. It has been claimed that the offer, reported to be worth up to £200,000, was cancelled when a new head of programmes arrived at the network and wanted a younger face to front its flagship bulletins.
