Humphrey wrote on Twitter: “After 10 amazing years, I’m stepping back from BT. As a football fan, hosting Premier League matches, FA Cup matches and European Finals means the world to me. It was my dream job. I just loved being such a small part of such a world class production team.
I also feel happy to have shared the screen with the great legends and broadcasters who have become friends. thank you all.
When I joined BT in 2013 I had no children, the Whisper Group was in its infancy and I didn’t even know what a podcast was!
A decade later, Whisper now has hundreds of team members I want to work with more, and the impact of high performance amazes me every day. I am also not ashamed to say that I am still very ambitious.
Taking a step back from BT will give me space to pursue other projects and pursue other ambitions. I’m excited. To everyone who watched and commented, good or bad (!), THANK YOU! It was a blast… x’.
