Showing acknowledgement to a fellow in the industry, Naga shared the tweet from a Channel 4 news corespondent, Ciaran Jenkins.

“He’s been a fantastic, inspirational boss – I owe him so much. A new era begins today.”

Attached to Ciaran’s tweet was a publication which had been titled: “Farewell to departing editor Ben de Pear.”

The article read: “We don’t often spend time recognising the off-screen team- who are really the ones who make this programme what it is.
