The new-look and extended one hour programme will be presented by existing Beeb anchors and BBC Breakfast stars.

Jon Kay, Sally Nugent and Nina Warhurst will all host on rotation with Ben Brown, Anna Foster and Tina Daheley.

However, the shake-up means Jane Hill will step down from the programme - with her last episode today.

Taking to social media, the journalist posted an emotional message to viewers.

She said: "A big day, and a sad one, for many of us. The last #BBCNewsOne from London, after more than 37 years!

"Do join us if you can at 1300. With a warning that we’ve brought in so much cake we’ll be broadcasting on a sugar rush."

Fans flooded Jane with well-wishes, as one said: "Wow end of an era. Good luck Jane & team."

A second wrote: "A silly, pointless, ridiculous, political move Jane, which doesn't add value to the viewer and is being done to score box ticking points. A great shame."

"Always enjoy News at One," said a third.

In a further update to worried fans, Jane reassured them she was not leaving the BBC.

She explained: "Personal news, for avoidance of confusion (thanks for all the messages). I am not leaving

"@bbcnews! Sticking with my role on #BBCNewsSix & #BBCNewsTen, plus weekend bulletins. Good luck to the Salford team."
