Deborah will then move on to the BBC as CEO of News and Current Affairs which was announced earlier this year.
Rachel’s role in the company has been widely praised throughout her leadership as ITV has been the first broadcaster to break major stories such as the Partygate scandal and reported into substandard conditions in UK council housing.
She is responsible for ITV’s national news, ITV News London and ITV News Tonight.
