“My parents had the most amazing work ethic,” she said. “They made a huge contribution to the community we lived in. They ran swimming lessons at our village pool and helped at church fetes and PTA (Parent Teacher Association) fundraisers. My mum taught Sunday school and made hundreds of costumes each year for the local youth theatre. My dad coached cricket and was secretary of the boys’ club. They always strove to leave a place in better shape than they found it in. All this was in addition to bringing up my younger sister and me – and running a textile business that at times employed more than 150 people. Extraordinary and exhausting.”

Martine Croxall BBC News
Who is Martine Croxall? Martine was a TV Presenter with BBC News Channel and BBC World News. She also hosted “The Papers” at 10.30 pm and 11.30 pm, a lively and informed conversation with two guests about the next day’s front pages. She joined BBC News in 2001 and has covered every major news story since then.
Martine began her broadcasting career in BBC local radio and regional TV where she worked in various roles, including as a producer, reporter, presenter, and news editor. She now trains new TV presenters for the BBC’s Academy. Martine is also a sought-after event host, debate moderator, and executive presentation skills coach.
Since March 2023, Martine continues to be kept off air amid a series of cuts, a treatment that has been labeled “appalling”. Martine is one of five BBC News stars who have not been seen on TV for months following a rebrand, with insiders criticizing bosses for the move. She was among the most familiar faces on the BBC News Channel until it was merged with BBC World News earlier this year. The cost-cutting move meant Martine lost her job on the channel and, despite still being employed by the BBC, has not been on screen for months.
It is believed that Martine and fellow presenters Annita McVeigh, Geeta Guru-Murthy, Kasia Madera, and Karin Giannone are all being paid by the BBC, but kept away from work, with Deadline claiming there is no resolution in sight to bring them back to screens. One BBC journalist, who does not work for the BBC News Channel, said: “I think there is a huge amount of sympathy [for them]. I don’t think it’s rocket science to say they have been treated badly.”
Martine was last seen on BBC screens in March, ahead of the rebrand which saw five main anchors appointed for the new combined BBC News Channel, with Martine and the other four axed. Martine has since posted several pictures of her with Annita, Geeta, Kasia, and Karin on social media, but has not directly commented on her BBC future in the posts.
Criticism of the move has reportedly been growing in recent weeks, with some BBC staff noting that Martine and the others are all over the age of 45, sparking concern it is an age-related issue.
