Sangeeta Bhabra – Fred Dinenage Leaving
He announced he will be leaving the station at Christmas and thanked his colleagues for their continued support. On October 12, 2021, he announced: “After almost thirty-eight years co-presenting the ITV six o’clock show in the south and south-east I’ve finally decided to hang up my microphone.
“It’s been a really tough decision but I now want to spend a few years with my wife, Beverley, and our three dogs smelling the roses in my garden and spending time in the mountains of Austria.”
He added: “I will be continuing with my crime programmes and ITV’s How! and writing books, including one recently commissioned. “But now I feel it is the right time to move on. I will miss my dear co-presenter, Sangeeta, and my colleagues at ITV Meridian terribly.
“And, of course, I will miss our wonderful viewers who have given me such incredible love and support for so long.”
He concluded: “I’ve been so lucky in my life and career – fifty-eight years working non-stop on regional and network programmes with ITV and I’ve been blessed by having a truly special family. So, to everyone – thank you.”
