Jessica Rowe leaves Studio 10

Former newsreader now Studio 10 panellist Jessica Rowe is to leave the show at the end of the month.

Rowe cited a desire to spend more time with family as she announced her resignation live on air, however former executive producer of the show, Rob McKnight has since come out claiming the network has been trying to fire the presenter for over a year. 

On this morning’s broadcast, Rowe said: “I’ve decided to leave Studio 10 and why I’ve decided to do this decision, it’s been a very hard thing for me to do, but it’s because my family need me. And I, as I said, it’s been difficult. I want to be more present, I want to be a more present mum for my girls, Allegra and Giselle. They need their mum and I want to be there in the mornings for them, take them to school, do canteen duty – heaven help them with the sandwiches.”
