“What an amazing past five years it has been, whether it was interviewing prime ministers and international opinion makers or getting karaoke encouragement from my childhood idol Gladys Knight,” Millar said on Wednesday’s programme.
‘In 35 years of journalism, I have never done anything so exciting, unpredictable and fun. It only worked because of the amazing team behind the cameras and behind the scenes who kept me laughing.’
Millar will remain with the national broadcaster in a project-based role.
