BREAKING: Miriam O'Callaghan is to present The Late Late Show tonight. Due to a persistent cough, Ryan Tubridy is in self-isolation. I think this is the first time a woman has ever fully presented the world's longest running TV chat show.

Out of respect to them, and to our serving President, I have always declined to engage in those discussions. However, given the recent resurgence of speculation, I want to state that I will not be a candidate in an upcoming Presidential election.

To all who have sent messages re #ptsd thank you so so much. The compassion is so heartening. I’m not leaving the BBC but no more war or traumatising situations. In due course. I will talk about #ptsd but for now it’s time to focus on recovery and different work.

As a journalist, I’m much more comfortable reporting on stories than being at the centre of them. Over recent years, I’ve been touched and a little embarrassed when people have approached me at charity events around the country and suggested that I should run for President.
