Presenter Simon Thomas is to leave Sky Sports at the end of the season.

The news was announced today, five months after the death of his wife Gemma from leukemia.

The football anchor, who is from Norfolk, used to be the face of BBC's Blue Peter. He joined Sky Sports in 2005.

He says the decision is partly to spend more time with his son, Ethan and he has also pledged to spend more time raising awareness and money for Bloodwise UK.
