BBC Radio 4 stalwart Sarah Sands is quitting the Today programme, she has announced today.
The journalist and editor of the morning radio show will leave her post in six months time - the length of her notice period.
Matthew Moore, media correspondent at The Times, tweeted: "Understand Sarah Sands has submitted her resignation as editor of Today programme. Six months notice."
Sarah previously edited the London Evening Standard, eventually leaving to be replaced by former Tory chancellor George Osborne.
It's not yet been revealed where Sarah will go next.
Her resignation is the latest in an unsettling period for the BBC, which yesterday announced 450 job losses across its News department - including 50 at the World Service.
Hundreds of jobs are being scrapped in a swingeing cost-cutting exercise, which has also seen the axing of The Victoria Derbyshire Show.
The cuts will affect the number of films produced by Newsnight, the number of staff working on 5 Live, and World Update on World Service English is being dropped.
There will also be a review on the number of presenters across the board and the way they work.
BBC staff who keep their jobs can expect to be moved out of London in the future.
The cuts are being made to save £80million, after the government's 'nuclear' decision to scrap free TV licences for over-75s.
Victoria Derbyshire was furious when she learned her award-winning show was being cut from reading it in a newspaper.
Bosses had failed to give her the heads up before the cuts were first reported.
Victoria took BBC News chief Fran Unsworth to task during yesterday's staff meeting to ask whether she had been lied to, according to FT journalist Mark Di Stefano, who live-tweeted the tense announcement to BBC staff.
"You never told me you need to grow the linear audience... were we lied to?" Victoria asked.
Her boss replied, 'no'.
"Really? You have ignored the digital figures, Fran," came Victoria's sassy response.
The veteran presenter had been hosting the BBC Two current affairs programme since 2015 and it remains a weekday staple on the channel.
The show is scheduled to be taken off air later this year.
