Last month:
“I absolutely intend to stay at Channel 4 and deal with the uncertainty and challenging questions in Channel 4’s future. I intend to stay at Channel 4. I don’t intend to take part in any process leading to any kind of recruitment at the BBC. I have a job I want.”
“I will turn down any approach from the BBC.”
