BBC's Europe editor Katya Adler is hot favourite to fly into Mishal Husain's shoes on Today programme The BBC’s Europe editor Katya Adler has emerged as the hot favourite to replace Mishal Husain on the Today programme.
BBC Europe editor Katya Adler has become the hot favourite to replace Mishal Husain on BBC Radio 4's flagship Today programme.
If Adler, who has been the BBC’s Europe editor since 2014, is appointed, she would join Nick Robinson, 61, Emma Barnett, 39, Justin Webb, 63 and Amol Rajan, 41, on the presenting team.
The vacancy has come about after Husain, 51, decided to quit the BBC to present a new interview series for Bloomberg.
While one well-placed insider claimed it was not yet a ‘done deal’, they admitted her appearances in the new year would give her a chance to ‘feel at home on the show’.
