The star of the morning news programme first joined in 2001 and became a lead presenter in 2012. Fans are keen to know when she will make her last appearance on TV, and here is all we know. On June 8 Minchin announced she would be stepping down from her regular role as a lead presenter in Salford. She told viewers that she had treasured her time with the BBC, but had decided it was time to stop setting her alarm for 3.40am. Minchin said she was looking forward to sleeping in, but fans were sad to see her announce the news. She said there would be lots of happy memories taken away from her experience, and she will still feature on the programme for a little while. She gave a vague leaving date of "some time after the summer", so viewers can expect to see her for a few more months yet. READ MORE: Susanna Reid calls out Piers Morgan's BBC Breakfast claim
