The weather presenter has been a regular fixture on BBC Yorkshire for the past eight years.

Announcing her shock departure in a lengthy statement, Abbie told fans: “The only thing crazier than landing your dream job is handing your notice in for it…

“A long, emotional caption so buckle up.

“8 years ago today I walked into BBC Yorkshire as a staff weather presenter for the first time and, in spite of the initial 2:30am alarms, have been living my actual dream in this amazing corporation ever since.

“But as they say, all good things must come to an end and the end is in sight (still a couple of weeks off so plenty more reminiscent spam to come).”

Abbie added how she first started working for the Beeb when she was just 22.

She continued: “I’ll share more in the next few weeks around the future but felt it apt on my eight year weather anniversary to take a look back and reminisce on what really has been a dream come true.

“Thank you for welcoming me onto your screens, into your radios and onto your phones. It’s been a privilege that’s not lost on me.

“The future is looking bright.”
