All Things 'Deborah Turness' (18+) Part 1 👀💊 
1. On 9 November 2025, Turness announced she would leave the BBC… amid allegations against the corporation of editorial bias.
2.
3. One allegation was in the memo related to the crafting of the juxtaposition of footage by the BBC from Trump’s speech on January 6, 2021, which was done in an extremely misleading way. The BBC subsequently apologised, labelling it an “error of judgement”.
‘Turness resigned from her job at the BBC in November 2025, alongside director general Tim Davie. Their resignations followed an accusation of bias concerning the editing of a speech by Donald Trump in BBC News’s Panorama series. The BBC confirmed that the BBC “stitched together” two Trump statements issued 50 minutes apart from each other.’

5. ‘Senior MPs have said the BBC must now undergo a major shake-up and Mr Davie’s successor will need to “restore trust” in the corporation after it ebbed away under his leadership.
Other senior staff, including Jonathan Munro, the global head of news content, are also under pressure to leave, in what is seen as the BBC’s worst crisis since the Jimmy Savile scandal in 2012.’

‘In 2000, Turness was Deputy Editor of 5 News before being promoted to Editor in 2002. At Five News she famously did away with desks in the studio, thereby introducing the concept of “perching presenters”. During 2002, she worked on Channel 4‘s RI:SE as Producer before quitting after six months to rejoin ITV News as Deputy Editor. In 2004, she became the Editor of ITV News, being the first woman to become the head of network news.'

56. Turness - Lady Gaga
‘With a shake and a shimmy of her hotpants, the BBC’s fun-loving new current affairs chief suggests that Auntie could be going a little gaga.
These photos show glamorous Deborah Turness – appointed last week as the Corporation’s £400,000-a-year head of news and current affairs – performing Lady Gaga’s hit Just Dance at the Edinburgh Television Festival in 2010.
Sizzling in her blonde wig, black bustier and lace-up boots, the executive destined for one of the most powerful jobs in journalism bopped away in front of hundreds of industry leaders at the annual event.’
