Sue Barker has said she is “sad to say goodbye” to BBC's A Question Of Sport after it was announced she is stepping down after 24 years.
Team captains Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell will also depart the long-running sports quiz show as part of a major shake-up. Former professional tennis player Barker, 64, took over as presenter from commentator David Coleman in 1997.
