BBC newsreader Jane Hill has come out as gay in an article in the corporation’s in-house magazine.
The 40-year-old, who has regular presenting duties on the BBC News channel, told Ariel that she lives with her partner of one year, Sara, in North London with their dog Mavis.
“Everyone has known for years that Jane is gay,” a colleague told The Mirror. “She hasn’t made a secret of it at the BBC and although she has had other girlfriends over the years, this one seems to be the one.”
Not sure why I’m blogging on this as it’s not exactly news but it’s not easy coming out when you’re in the public eye. I don’t mind my close friends knowing I’m friends with Dorothy but if random people that see me in the street knew I was, it must be a little harder. I wish her the best of luck, the BBC is probably the easiest place to work when you’re a minority.
