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.

She said: “I’ve absolutely loved my 24 years fronting A Question of Sport, it’s been my dream job. “But I understand the BBC want to take the show in a new direction and I’m sad to say goodbye.” Ex-England rugby player Dawson, 47, and former English international cricketer Tufnell, 54, have led their teams on the show for 16 and 12 years respectively.
