A popular Norfolk TV presenter has announced he will be stepping back from his lead role at a major broadcaster. 

Jake Humphrey has announced he will be giving up his lead presenter position with BT Sport, but said it had been "10 wonderful years".

The 44-year-old, who lives south of Norwich, is expected to present his last show for BT Sport in the Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan on June 10.

"As a football fan, hosting Premier League matches, FA Cup games and European finals has meant the world to me," the Norwich City fan wrote on Twitter.

"I’ve loved being a very small part of a world-class production team.

"I also feel blessed to have shared the screen with legends of the game and incredible broadcasters, who have become friends - thank you all."

Humphrey joined the broadcaster in 2013 having emerged from presenting children's television to become an established BBC Sport presenter, fronting its Formula One coverage.

The former Framingham Earl High School pupil has also gone on to establish his production company Whisper Group as well as the successful High Performance podcast.

"Stepping back from BT will allow me space to pursue other projects and fulfil other ambitions," he added.

"To everyone that’s watched and commented, thank you. 

"It’s been a blast."

BT Sport paid tribute to Humphrey in a post on Twitter, which read: "We thank Jake for his huge commitment to BT Sport as a mainstay of our coverage since launch.

"Jake has made a massive contribution to the success of BT Sport over the past decade and will always be much-loved by all of us.

"We’re looking forward to celebrating Jake with a tribute during our Champions League Final coverage next month and giving him a fitting finale for his 10 years on BT Sport."

Laura Woods, who currently presents on talkSPORT and worked at the 2022 World Cup for ITV, has been pipped to front BT Sport’s football coverage next season following Humphrey's departure.
